PURPOSE To report our early experience with thermo-expandable urethral stents (Memokath) for the management of recurrent urethral stricture and to assess the efficacy of urethral stents. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between March 2012 and February 2013, 13 patients with recurrent urethral stricture after several attempts with direct visual internal urethrotomy (DVIU) or failed urethroplasty underwen...

PURPOSE In 1988 a syndrome of isolated urinary retention in young women that is associated with electromyographic abnormality of the striated urethral sphincter was described. It was hypothesised that urinary retention resulted from a failure of sphincter relaxation. The electromyographic abnormality causes overactivity of the muscle and may induce changes of work hypertrophy. If the hypothesis...

PURPOSE Although endoscopic realignment has been accepted as a standard treatment for urethral injuries, the long-term follow-up data on this procedure are not sufficient. We report the long-term outcome of primary endoscopic realignment in bulbous urethral injuries. METHODS Patients with bulbous urethral injuries were treated by primary endoscopic realignment between 1991 and 2005. The opera...

Urethral duplication is a rare congenital anomaly affecting mainly males. Here, we report case of urethral in 19 years old male presented as scrotal sinus discharging pus for 1 year. Surgical removal accessory urethra was done and postoperative period uneventful.

Urethral duplication is a genitourinary anomaly that may rarely present in conjunction with posterior urethral valves. The management algorithm of children affected by both these urologic conditions is still unknown, given the low incidence and the complexity of each of these conditions. We present our clinical experience with the management of a child with Y-type urethral duplication and poste...

OBJECTIVE To compare clean intermittent self-catheterisation and urethral dilatation with sounds in the management of recurrent urethral strictures. DESIGN A prospective randomised control trial between repeated urethral dilatation with sounds and use of clean intermittent self-catheterisation in the management of recurrent urethral strictures. SETTING Kenyatta National Hospital, urology cl...

OBJECTIVE Congenital anomalies or malformations of the urethra that involve number are extremely rare and only 7 cases of trifurcation of the urethra and under 500 cases of urethral duplication have been described. METHODS In the case we present, urethral duplication was diagnosed in adulthood, even though glans malformation with 2 urethral orifices was clearly evident and only 1 was function...

Urethral amyloidosis is a rare condition in which eosinophilic amyloid proteins are deposited in the urethra. Only a small number of reports on urethral amyloidosis have been published. Increased interest has been associated with this disease due to its clinical similarities with urothelial carcinoma. A biopsy of the lesion and a histological examination are essential for the correct diagnosis....

We experienced the growth of urethral hair along the urethral stricture six years after simultaneous urethral repair and reimplantation of penile prosthesis (RPP) in a patient with a urethral stricture. We detected hair in the urethra with a stricture on the bulbous urethra. Further, we performed hair removal by using a pair of cystoscopic forceps and internal urethrotomy. Then, we performed RP...
