Abstract: Urethral strictures are a major cause of voiding difficulty in adult males and a common complaint faced by the Urologists.The male urethra is classically imaged by Retrograde Urethrography in combination with Voiding Cystourethrography. Although Retrograde Urethrography is the gold standard investigation for male urethral strictures, it has disadvantages including radiation exposure, limited information on periurethral structures, extravasation of contrast etc. In comparison, Sonourethrography provides an accurate, simple, dynamic, rapid and cost effective imaging of the urethra and periurethral structures which can be repeated without the harmful effects of radiation. Sonourethrography also has the potential to be a valuable preoperative investigation. Nevertheless, it is not..........
