YOGYAKARTA Uretrography is a type of radiological examination. The uretographic examination technique is intended to see the entire area of uretra.

Uretra itself is a channel that connects the bladder to the outside of the body. Channels cannot be seen directly because they are in the body, except for a small part of the end. Uretra has a diameter of about 6 millimeters, so urinary tract stones rarely clog this area.

The following article will explain in more detail what the uretrographic examination technique is and its procedures.

Summarized from various sources, the uretrographic examination technique is a radiological technique that utilizes positive contrast media which is injected into a retrograde proximaluretra, with the aim of looking at the anatomy, function, and abnormalities in the male urinary tract.

This examination technique can help evaluate the structure and function of theuretra, and can help detect certain abnormalities or problems.

With uretrography, doctors can understand the condition of uretra and bladder, and can provide important information for diagnosis and treatment planning.

As in many medical imaging procedures, the risk and benefits of uretrography must be considered based on the patient's specific needs.

The risks associated with uretrography may include allergic reactions to contrast, infection, or discomfort during injection or shooting.

Prior to undergoing the uretrographic examination, patients may be asked not to urinate. Its function is to prevent contrast from mixing with urine which causes high density. Low contrast causes an image of the knee so that the bladder cannot be assessed.

The tools and materials that must be prepared for retrograde uretrographic examination include:

While tools to include contrasting media, consist of:

The uretrographic inspection procedure is as follows:
