How Transurethral Resection of PUV is performed
This procedure is used to treat posterior urethral valves (PUV). A pediatric cystoscope is used to enter the urethra transurethrally under general anesthesia. The valve is identified under direct vision and resected/ablated with a cold knife or energy device. A urinary catheter is left in place as necessary for decompression and drainage. Postoperative monitoring includes urine output, electrolytes, and renal function, and assessment of bladder function and signs of infection. The above is general health information and not medical advice; the specifics are subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
