What are Posterior Urethral Valves (PUV)?
Preparation
General anaesthesia is the first step in the preparation. After that, the surgeon places a cystoscope into the urethra.
Valve Identification
The Cystoscope enables visualization from within the urethra, thus locating the PUVs.
Closure
In the last phase, once the valves have been mechanically destroyed, the cystoscope is withdrawn, and the procedure is over.

As for recovery following treatment, the patient will spend several hours in a monitored recovery area. The length of time that each person is likely to be in recovery is variable. In this respect, age and the severity of the PUVs are taken into account, as well as all other factors.
