  • Title: [A case of lithiasis and stenosis of the urethra. Diagnostic and therapeutic problems].
    Author: Polo M, Cabras M, Licheri S, Polo F.
    Journal: Minerva Urol Nefrol; 1990; 42(4):235-8. PubMed ID: 2095640.
    Abstract:
    The association of urethral stenosis and stones is not frequent. The urethral stenosis, particularly common in males, recognizes, as predisposing causes, urethritis, IPB, perineal trauma, neurogenic bladder and, last, but not the least important, endoscopic treatments or repeated catheterism. The authors report a case of a 42 year old man who underwent, for urolithiasis, several endoscopic examinations, which became urethral-stenosis with stones within four years. With responsible and critical behaviour, etiology, the diagnostic procedures and the therapy (invasive or not) of the urethral-stenosis are examined and evaluated. Diagnosis must be based on a non painful approach (clinical, bacteriological, ultrasonography, uro-dynamic studies); the invasive procedures must be limited as much is possible. Whatever treatment is used, which may always give sequences or complications, a prolonged follow-up is mandatory to have an objective evaluation of the results.
