![]() ![]() Median follow up from time of post-operative RUG to last known follow up was 35 months. RESULTS: 105 patients were included (table 1). Basic diagnostics were examined looking at sensitivity, specificity and association using SAS. ![]() Stricture recurrence was defined as symptoms with inability to pass a 16 French flexible cystoscope or evidence of stricture on subsequent RUG. Results were classified into four categories: normal, contour irregularity, contained extravasation and frank extravasation (figure 1). METHODS: All available post-urethroplasty RUGs between to were reviewed by one author (KSM). Our goal was to classify post-operative RUG findings and determine if they predicted restricturing of the urethra. To our knowledge, there is no published data to guide RUG interpretation. Brown University, Providence, RI, USA.īACKGROUND: Retrograde urethrograms (RUG) have been utilized 2-3 weeks after urethroplasty to help guide management of indwelling urethral catheters.
