1/34. Our surgical approach towards the treatment of urethrocele and urethral fistula.A new technique, described in the text, has been elaborated inspired by that of Monseur (1968) for urethral techniques. It has been performed with success in three paraplegics and in one incomplete tetraparesis. The plastic reconstruction of the diseased part of the urethra after excision of the stenosis and a fistula or diverticula by rotation and fixation to the subcavernal groove creates, in fact, an enlarged neo-urethra rendering the recurrence of the primary lesion practically impossible. This technique, first applied to spinal cord injuries, has been extended with permanent success to other lesions, such as tuberculosis stenosis and malformations.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = stenosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/34. Recurrent urethral hairball and stone in a hypospadiac: management and prevention.A 32-year-old perineal hypospadiac man presented with recurrent urethral hair growth, stone, and stricture with a history of multiple urethroplasties. He was treated by urethrolithotomy, internal urethrotomy, laser epilation of the hair-bearing urethral graft, closure of the fistula, and chemical depilation of the neourethral hair. A dilute solution of thioglycolate was prophylactically instilled into the neourethra at intervals of 3 months to ensure complete tricholysis and to prevent recurrent hair growth in the future.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 40.514286974049keywords = stricture (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/34. Transient pseudohypoaldosteronism secondary to posterior urethral valves--a case report and review of the literature.In transient pseudohypoaldosteronism (TPHA), renal tubular resistance to aldosterone is thought to be secondary to renal disease. We report a case of TPHA caused by posterior urethral valves associated with urinary tract infection and review 62 cases previously reported. The infant presented with unspecific signs of vomiting and dehydration, so that pyloric stenosis was first suspected. Laboratory data and retroperitoneal sonography led to the diagnosis TPHA. This case illustrates that urine culture and renal ultrasonography should be performed in any infant with electrolyte disturbances to exclude infection or obstructive uropathy.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.5keywords = stenosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/34. Urethral stone presenting as a stop valve--a rare complication of balanitis xerotica obliterans.Balanitis xerotic obliterans (BXO) is the genital subcategory of lichen sclerosis et atrophicus. The association of BXO with urethral stone causing interruption of the urinary stream and voiding by manual displacement of the urethral stone has not been described before. We describe one such case of a young boy with BXO and urethral stone who voided by manually displacing the stone for over a year. The case is reported to emphasize the ingenuity of the patient in continuing to void for over a year despite the association of the impacted urethral stone with urethral stricture and BXO.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 24338.12839703keywords = urethral stricture, stricture (Clic here for more details about this article) |

Giant calculus of the posterior urethra following recurrent penile urethral stricture.A case of an unusually large, proximal urethral calculus located very close to the external sphincter and caused by recurrent urethral stricture is presented.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 121690.64198515keywords = urethral stricture, stricture (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/34. Urethral adenocarcinoma associated with urethral diverticulum in a patient with progressive voiding dysfunction.Urethral adenocarcinoma associated with urethral diverticulum is a rare condition that requires a high index of suspicion to ensure early diagnosis and appropriate therapy. The development of urethral stenosis in a patient with a urethral diverticulum warrants early biopsy to rule out a malignant lesion.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.5keywords = stenosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/34. Urethral tuberculosis.Tuberculous affection of the urethra is very rare. Herein we report 2 cases of urethral tuberculosis. One in a young married female who had isolated urethral involvement presenting as urethral caruncle and the second in a young male with urethral stricture complicated by fistulae and abscess in association with renal tuberculosis. The relevant literature is briefly reviewed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 24338.12839703keywords = urethral stricture, stricture (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/34. Pseudohypospadias with bilateral vesicoureteric reflux: consequences of inappropriate management of stricture urethra.A 17-year-old male boy presented with clinical features of pseudohypospadias (small penile stump with absent distal penile urethra) associated with very small capacity bladder and bilateral grade IV vesicoureteric reflux following suprapubic urinary diversion for multiple urethro-cutaneous fistula and periurethral abscess which developed as a consequence of inappropriate initial management of urethral trauma. This case highlights the importance of the initial management of urethral trauma and the management of its rare complication.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 162.0571478962keywords = stricture (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/34. Urethrovasocutaneous fistula in a case of anterior urethral stricture.The occurrence of an urethrovasocutaneous fistula is an extremely rare event. We report the first case of such a fistula in a patient with anterior urethral stricture. The patient had epididymo-orchitis preceding the occurrence of the fistula. Increased intravesical and intraurethral pressure during voiding and the patulous ejaculatory ducts were the predisposing factors in this case. The patient was managed successfully by visual internal urethrotomy, bilateral vasectomy and excision of the fistula.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 121690.64198515keywords = urethral stricture, stricture (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/34. infection-induced urethral defect treated by urethral reconstruction with a radial forearm flap.Abstract A 47-year-old man was admitted with the chief complaint of a urethral defect. An approximately 17-cm defect of the urethra seemed to have been occurred by the infection of implanted foreign bodies in the penile skin. Reconstruction of the urethra and the ventral skin was performed with a free radial forearm flap. A fistula formed at the proximal anastomosis after the operation, but was controlled conservatively. urethral stricture at the proximal anastomosis subsequently developed. A urethral stent made of shape memory alloy was placed with the preservation of voiding function.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 40.514286974049keywords = stricture (Clic here for more details about this article) |
