Abstract
We describe a technique to ablate posterior urethral valves with a Fogarty balloon catheter. This technique has been used for 14 years in 10 cases with a good result in 9. Fogarty balloon catheter ablation of posterior urethral valves would seem to be particularly applicable to the small neonate with a vulnerable anterior urethra.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
