Primary urethral calculus is rarely seen and is usually encountered in men with urethral stricture or diverticulum. We present a case of giant urethral calculus secondary to a urethral stricture in a man. The patient was treated with calculus extraction with end to end urethroplasty.

Objective: We present our experience with transperineal bulboprostatic anastomotic procedure and compare the results with age of patients, length of urethral stricture, effect of previous treatment and need for urethral mobilisation. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the outcome of 76 patients who underwent perineal urethroplasty procedure for traumatic stricture in our institu...

INTRODUCTION A simple technique to dilate urethral stricture using guide wire and sheath dilator has been described in pediatric urology.

This article provides a brief updated review of the surgical options for the management of different sites and different types of anterior urethral strictu...

Female urethral strictures are rare; thus, the literature describing stricture management in women is sparse. Although urethral dilation continues to be performed at a high frequency in women despite lack of proven efficacy, this procedure is used for a variety of voiding complaints other than stricture. Hence, the long-term utility of dilation and urethrotomy for urethral stricture in women is...

INTRODUCTION Urethral stricture is a common urological condition, resulting from trauma or venereal infections. The aim of our study was to report a rare case of squamous cell carcinoma of the penis and pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia (PEH) of scrotal skin, on top of repeatedly managed urethral stricture which was of unknown aetiology. METHODS A Medline search of publications studying the a...

Background: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the aetiology of posterior urethral stricture in children and analysis of results after delayed primary repair with extensive distal urethral mobilisation. Materials and Methods This was a retrospective study carried out in a tertiary care centre from January 2009 to December 2013. Results: Eight children with median age 7.5 years (range ...
