[Transluminal urethroplasty. Preliminary experience in 15 cases].
Thirteen patients with urethral stenoses of different etiopathology underwent TUP with an angioplasty balloon catheter. At follow-up, more than 10 months later, 8 out of 10 patients had normal urinary function. Excluding cases of urethral compression due to prostatic hyperplasia, 90% of the stenoses were successfully dilated. The gradualness of the dilatation, the application of a Foley catheter to maintain the dilatation obtained and the prevention of urinary infections are important factors for the success of this method
[Transluminal esophagoplasty (TE)].
The authors analyze their experience on 9 cases of esophageal stenosis dilated by "Grüntzig" type balloon catheter under fluoroscopic examination (transluminal esophagus plastica: TE). This procedure also allows dilatation of severe narrowing, offering distinct advantages represented by: low risk, easy performance, good tolerance, reduction or disappearance of disphagia. Esophageal perforation is possible, though it never appeared in author's experience
