🫁 USG-Guided Diagnostic Pleural Tapping

A patient presented with significant right-sided pleural effusion causing respiratory discomfort. Under real-time ultrasound guidance, a diagnostic pleural tapping (thoracentesis) was performed safely and accurately.

Approximately 500 mL of pleural fluid was aspirated and sent for laboratory analysis to determine the underlying cause of the effusion. Ultrasound guidance helps identify the safest entry site, minimizes complications, and improves procedural success.

Precision. Safety. Timely Diagnosis.

🚨 Emergency Retrograde Urethrogram (RGU): Identifying the Cause of Acute Urinary Retention

A patient presented with sudden acute urinary retention and was unable to pass urine. As an emergency measure, suprapubic catheterization (SPC) was performed to relieve the obstruction.

To evaluate the urethral anatomy and determine whether a urethral stricture or any other obstructive pathology was present, an emergency Retrograde Urethrogram (RGU) was advised.

The RGU was performed immediately, and the imaging revealed the findings demonstrated in this post, helping guide further urological management.

Prompt imaging in emergency situations plays a crucial role in accurate diagnosis and timely treatment.

Retrograde Urethrogram (RGU) done by Dr Hardik.

🧬 Partial stricture observed at the anterior-posterior urethral junction.

📸 Imaging shows narrowing of the urethral lumen suggestive of urethral stricture, which may be contributing to lower urinary tract symptoms.
🧪 This imaging is crucial for planning further management like DVIU or urethroplasty.

💡 Why RGU?
Retrograde urethrogram is a valuable diagnostic tool for evaluating urethral strictures, trauma, or post-surgical complications.
