Female Urethral Reconstruction
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...

A 36-year-old woman presented to our department with a 6-week history of dysuria, urinary frequency and refractory urinary tract infection. Physical examinations revealed a tender cystic mass in the anterior vaginal wall. Laboratory test showed the following: leukocyte count, 13610 /mm3; C-reactive protein, 2.3 mg/dL. Urinalysis demonstrated microscopic pyuria (50-75 white blood cells/ high pow...
متن کاملTraumatic female urethral avulsion
Traumatic female urethral avulsion in the absence of a pelvic fracture is an exceedingly rare entity, with no consensus on its' management. Here, we present a 35-year-old pregnant woman with severe anterior vaginal wall laceration and complete urethral avulsion secondary to straddle injury.

Careful physical examination and cystourethroscopy are critical to diagnose and assess the ext...
متن کاملTissue engineering in urethral reconstruction--an update.
The field of tissue engineering is rapidly progressing. Much work has gone into developing a tissue engineered urethral graft. Current grafts, when long, can create initial donor site morbidity. In this article, we evaluate the progress made in finding a tissue engineered substitute for the human urethra. Researchers have investigated cell-free and cell-seeded grafts. We discuss different appro...
