چکیده
The present study describes a perfected device for retrograde urethrography (RUG). The device allows RUG to be performed using a balloonless catheter and with assessment of the various problems of the urethra. The procedure is simple and well tolerated by patients and represents an interesting alternative to the conventional RUG technique.
