Routine placement of transurethral catheters can be challenging in some situations, such as urethral strictures, severe phimosis and false passages. Intravaginal retraction of the urethral meatus can complicate Foley placement in postmenopausal females. In men, blind urethral procedures with mechanical or metal sounds without visual guidance or guidewire assistance are now discouraged due to th...

UNLABELLED INTRODUCTION Male urethral diverticula are rare. Patients with paraplegia may present with acquired diverticula as a result of prolonged catheterization. Diverticula may be asymptomatic or lead to lower urinary tract symptoms. Rarely, the diverticulum may initially present as a scrotal mass. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of a male 45-year-old Arab with paraplegia who pres...

INTRODUCTION Urethral erosion is an uncommon, but serious complication following syndiscuss a woman who presented with urethral erosion, vaginal erosion, ment. She was managed by sling excision with simultaneous rectus fascia sling surgery. Most such patients have been managed by urethral reconstruction and subsequent staged incontinence surgery, for fear of urethral complications. We thral ero...

INTRODUCTION Urethral coitus is very rare and in the reported cases, it was mostly presented with urinary incontinence and infertility. Septate vagina and other anomalies of hymeneal orifice are predisposing factors at the time of initiation of sexual activity.(1) Urethral intercourse in the female is very rare.

Urinary retention in young children and infancy is relatively rare. The commonest malignancy cause of bladder outlet obstruction in infancy is prostatic rhabdomyosarcoma; the commonest cause of congenital bladder outlet obstruction in a male infantis posterior urethral valve and the commonest cause of urethral obstruction in male children is urethral calculi. We present here a report on three c...

We have studied the contribution of the nervous system on experimentally induced urethral inflammation in the rat. Urethral inflammation was induced by inserting latex strips into the urethra. The effects of different experimental procedures was assessed by using a 4-graded inflammation scale based on the histological findings. Attenuation of urethral inflammation was produced by administration...

A 61-year-old woman presented to the gynecology department with complaints of atypical genital bleeding. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a localized urethral tumor extended to vagina. Histological test of the biopsy tissue of the mass suggested the adenocarcinoma. The patient was performed the fenestration of the anterior vaginal wall 15 years ago. Under the diagnosis of urethral diverticul...

Contemporary management of anterior urethral strictures requires both endoscopic as well as complex substitution urethroplasty, depending on the nature of the urethral stricture. Recent clinical and experimental studies have explored the possibility of augmenting traditional endoscopic urethral stricture management with anti-fibrotic injectable medications. Additionally, although buccal mucosa ...

Distal urethral strictures involving the fossa navicularis and meatus represent a unique subset of urethral strictures that are particularly challenging to reconstructive urologists. Management of distal urethral strictures must take into account not only maintenance of urethral patency but also glans cosmesis. A variety of therapeutic approaches exist for the management of distal urethral stri...

BACKGROUND Urethral polyps are rare benign pathologies seen in the male posterior urethra, more frequently originating from verumontanum. In this article, we aimed to discuss diagnosis and treatment of a urethral polyp causing hematuria and urinary infection in a 3-month-old male infant. This is the first case in the literature in which a urethral polyp is treated with Holmium yttrium-aluminum-...
