Abstract：Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of ureteroscope-assisted holmium laser and plasma e-lectric-cutting technology in treating traumatic urethral stricture . Methods With the wire-guide technology and ureteroscope ,the urethral stricture was incised by holmium laser ,then the scar tissue of the urethral stricture was re-sected by plasma resectoscope .Catheter was Indwelled for 3-4 weeks.Patients'urination was monitored after remo-ving the urinary catheter .The maximum urine flow rate and residual urine volume were compared before and after treatment.Comparison of the sexual function was also performed between pre-operatively and post-operatively.Re-sults After operation,patients'dysuria was obviously improved ,the maximum urine flow rate and mean urine flow rate were remarkably increased ,and the residual urine was markedly decreased .Conclusion Ureteroscope-assisted holmium laser and plasma electric-cutting technology can achieve satisfactory clinical effect in treating traumatic ure -thral stricture ,which is worth applying in clinical practice .
