This protocol addresses male patients with a non-obliterative vesico-urethral anastomosis stricture (VUAS) — a narrowing at the urethrovesical junction in which the urethral lumen is restricted but not fully obliterated.
Management involves a procedure performed under direct visual control. The complete protocol defines which specific technique applies, the clinical criteria guiding its use, and the recommended follow-up pathway.
Perform visually controlled dilatation or direct vision internal urethrotomy (DVIU) as 1st line-treatment for a non-obliterative vesico-urethral anastomosis stricture (VUAS) or radiation-induced bulbomembranous strictures (BMS).
