RESUMO
Ultrasonic examinations of the urethra were carried out in 188 women suffering from dysuria, making use of transducers for transcutaneous and transvaginal scanning. The authors describe in detail the echographic picture of the urethra in health and in various diseases, e.g. urethritis, paraurethral fibrosis, cysts, diverticuli, malignant and benign tumors, etc. The diagnostic value of ultrasonography of the urethra is compared to that of urethrocystoscopy, two-balloon cystourethrography, etc. Ultrasonic scanning was found to be the most informative in paraurethral cysts, tumors, diverticuli, and inflammatory diseases of the urethra. The accuracy of ultrasonic diagnosis as against other diagnostic methods was found to be 82.2%.
