    TLDR A new method using a Foley catheter on a ureteroscope makes difficult urethral catheterization easier and more effective.
    The study introduces a novel method to facilitate urethral catheterization in men, particularly in cases where traditional methods are challenging or inapplicable. This technique involves using a Foley catheter mounted on a ureteroscope and is described as simple, effective, and promising. The method was applied in two cases: a 34-year-old male with a complete posterior urethra rupture and a 45-year-old male with significant urethral fibrosis and stricture. The study highlights the potential of this new approach in overcoming complications associated with urethral catheterization.
