Abstract
This is a preliminary report concerning the use of Neodymium-YAG laser for urethral strictures. A new technique, not previously described, is explained, and the early results and complications are analyzed. The results were documented with urethrograms and uroflowmetry. We believe the Nd:YAG laser is a safe and effective means of treating urethral strictures. Also it reduces the cost of treatment, and the patients return to work in four to five days.Entities:
