PURPOSE Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and collagen are major components of the extracellular matrix and they have key roles in fibrotic diseases. Little is known about the molecular environment in urethral stricture and the majority of the studies available focused on collagen analysis. However, to our knowledge there are no data on GAG composition in urethral stricture disease. MATERIALS AND MET...

Aim: To compare internal optical urethrotomy with end-to-end urethroplasty in treatment of anterior urethral stricture (<1.5cm) terms recurrence. Study design: Cross-sectional Study. Place and duration study: Mayo hospital, department urology. June 2016 to July 2018 Methodology: Only 80 patients (40 individuals each class) were included the study nonprobability convenience sampling. Urethral...

OBJECTIVE To review paediatric posterior urethral injuries and the current potential management options; because urethral injury due to pelvic fracture in children is rare and has a low incidence, the management of this type of trauma and its complications remains controversial. METHODS We reviewed previous reports identified by searching the PubMed Medline electronic database for clinically ...

Pelvic fracture urethral injuries are typically partial and more often complete disruptions of the most proximal bulbar and distal membranous urethra. Emergency management includes suprapubic tube placement. Subsequent primary realignment to place a urethral catheter remains a controversial topic, but what is not controversial is that when there is the development of a stricture (which is usual...

A spontaneous, non-traumatic, urinary bladder rupture is a rare condition. We describe a case of a 23-year-old male with a spontaneous bladder rupture secondary to urinary retention, due to an urethral stricture. He presented to the emergency department with voiding difficulties, severe abdominal pain and renal failure. Abdominal ultrasound revealed large amounts of ascites. After an unsuccessf...

He lays down the dictum that the worst case of urethral stricture can be treated tout d'un coup, without any painful preliminary treatment, without any perineal incision. He emphasises Syme's well-known axiom that, if urine comes out from a bladder through a urethra, a surgeon should be able to pass an instrument through that urethra into the bladder. He goes even further, and affirms that, in ...

BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2016215206 DESCRIPTION Case 1: A 53-year-old man presented with acute urinary retention for which suprapubic catheterisation was performed after failed multiple attempts of per urethral catheterisation. Retrograde urethrogram (RUG) revealed an anterior urethral stricture and...
