Urethral strictures were treated by ultrasonic exposure by means of a Barvinok MT apparatus, developed by the KVANT Research and Production Amalgamation in Kiev, and special ultrasonic wave-guides. The developed method essentially reduced the time of treatment, was conducive to a complete recovery of the urethral urine-excretory function and of its anatomic and histologic structure; it ruled out the necessity of repeated examinations with a bougie, catheterization, or surgical intervention.

The authors suggest a combined method for the treatment of new torpid and chronic gonorrheal urethritis, involving preliminary studies of the agent's cellular respiration activity, and offer the technique for predicting the efficacy of such treatment. If gonococcal cellular respiration activity is low, aerobic processes in these agents are stimulated with daily subcutaneous injections of plasmol (a biostimulant), starting from 1 ml and building up the dose by 1 ml daily, and local irrigations of the urethra with oxygen cocktails via specially designed irrigators (Authors' Certificate No. 827071 USSR); such stimulation is carried out for 4 days prior to specific therapy. This treatment modality is maintained by an Authors Certificate No. 1107867 USSR. To check up the efficacy of the antibiotic chosen for therapy, a rapid method has been developed, consisting in measurement of the patient's blood serum antibacterial activity carried out in special chambers for cell microcultivation.

This device (Authors Certificate of the USSR No. 980726) helps rapidly diagnose the disease in torpid and chronic inflammatory processes in the urethra.
