Abstract
The article describes a technique for restoring spontaneous urination in patients with chronic urinary retention and the presence of contraindications for surgical treatment. Mechanical stretching of the narrowed portion of the urethra using balloon dilation is applied. The advantage of the technique is its relative simplicity, low invasiveness, and absence of complications. Balloon dilation works well with bougienage and allows for longer intervals between these procedures.
