PURPOSE Voiding cystourethrography is a diagnostic procedure widely used to evaluate lower urinary tract abnormalities in children. In children with and without suspected voiding dysfunction we measured the internal diameter of the external urethral sphincter on voiding cystourethrography to evaluate its diagnostic accuracy as a predictor of detrusor-sphincter incoordination. MATERIALS AND ME...

We report here a case of urethral fistula managed successfully following incision and drainage for the urethral abscess secondary to a large urethral stone leading to a large diverticulum (another rare condition) by using the technique of double breasting, where we used the redundant urethra and overlying skin.

Urethral prolapse in a premenopausal adult female is exceedingly rare. This paper describes a case of strangulated urethral prolapse presenting as a urethral mass in an unusual demographic and reviews the literature on etiology and management. Only a few cases have occurred in women of reproductive age. The etiology is likely multifactorial. Treatment with surgical excision provides good result...

Primary urethral stones are a rare form of urolithiasis accounting for less than 0.3% of urinary stones. We are reporting a case of a giant primary urethral stone that developed in the penile urethra resulting from a post-surgical complication of urethral stricture. The patient presented with difficulty urinating, ejaculatory dysfunction, and a hard palpable scrotal mass.

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. Management consisted of primary urethral and vaginal repair.

Introduction: Urethral stricture is characterized by a decrease in urethral flow severe enough to cause acute urinary retention. Urethral strictures may develop after traumas to the urethral epithelium and/or corpus spongiosum. Complication rates due to untreated urethral stricture are very high. Although various treatment methods have been described, the second most common method for urethral ...

Complex, proximal, anteriorly located urethral diverticula present the reconstructive urologist with a uniquely challenging task for repair through a conventional transvaginal approach. Herein, we present the first report of urethral diverticulectomy to excise a large, anterior, horseshoe-shaped urethral diverticulum that resulted in bladder outlet obstruction, using a transabdominal robot-assi...

Parameatal urethral cyst is very rare. Although 15 cases have been reported in Japan, no case of parameatal urethral cyst with calculi has previously been reported. We report the first case of parameatal urethral cyst with calculi in a 22-year-old female patient.

In a sexually transmitted disease clinic-based sample of men who have sex with women, positivity for urethral Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae was 3.5% and 3.1%, respectively, among patients whose only urethral exposure in the previous 3 months was receiving fellatio from a woman. Urethral infections acquired by fellatio might contribute to ongoing disease spread.
