Abstract
Anterior and posterior urethral valves have been treated with a variety of methods. The gold standard for treatment of posterior urethral valves is direct vision transurethral fulguration with the patient under general anesthesia. We report a bi-institutional experience using an adapted venous valvulotome to incise the obstructing valve leaflets. During the last 4 years 15 patients were treated, 4 with anterior and 11 with posterior urethral valves. There were no complications associated with this technique, and we believe that this is a safe and simple treatment option.
