Laser uretherotomy

Using Holmium laser uretherotomy only in the treatment of bulbar uretheral stricture

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Laser uretherotomy

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Holmium YAG Laser with pulse energy from 1-2 Joule, frequency from 10-15 Hertz and total power from 3.0 to 30.0 Watt were set up, respectively, based on the extent of the lesions. Scar tissue was incised at the position of 12-o'clock under the guidance of guidewire or ureteric catheter till fresh mucosa appeared.

Laser uretherotomy with intralesional steroids

Using holmium laser uretherotomy with injection of 80 mg of triamcinolone (diluted with normal saline to 10 ml) in the treatment of bulbar uretheral stricture

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Laser uretherotomy with triamcinolone

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

After laser urethrotomy, 80 mg of triamcinolone (diluted with normal saline to 10 ml) will be injected by using an injection needle (5 F size and 23 G needle size) at 10 sites, 1 ml each, along the site of urethrotomy and circumferentially.
