"While the urethra is well outlined in both procedures, retrograde urethrogram (RUG)/ascending urethrography (ASU) is better to visualise anterior urethral abnormalities and VCUG is better for posterior urethral abnormalities. Additionally, VCUG is performed for detection of bladder abnormalities and vesicoureteric reflux (VUR). VCUG is the initial examination of choice after metoidioplasty or phalloplasty in transgender males (female to male) 3."
