Retrograde Cystourethrogram Findings in Patients with Suspected Uretharal Strictures In Yenagoa, Nigeria
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences (IOSR-JPBS) - Year 2016, Vol 11, Issue 1
Abstract
A retrograde cystourethrogram (RCUG) in conjunction with a voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG) or intravenous urethrogram (IVU) serve as the gold standard for the diagnosis of a urethral stricture. In this study, we reviewed the findings in 25 patiets who had RCUG done for suspected urethral strictures. The mean age of the patients in this study was 51.44 ±17.67 and bulbomembranous junction stricture was the commonest pathology noted.
