The size of external urethral meatus on maximum stretch in Indian adult males.

Size of the external urethral meatus in adult Indian males is not yet documented. However, for choosing optimum size of an instrument, it is important to know the maximum stretchable external urethral meatal size in a particular patient. Hence, a prospective study was conducted at our institution to document the maximum stretchable adult male external urethral meatus size.

Analysis of short-term results of monsieur's tunica albuginea urethroplasty as a definitive procedure for pan-anterior urethral stricture.

Context: Long anterior urethral strictures are fairly common in developing world and the treatment is equally challenging.

Aim: To assess the results and efficacy of Monsieur's Tunica Albuginea Urethroplasty (TAU) for anterior urethral stricture.

Settings And Design: We analyzed the results in 10 consecutive patients with pan-anterior urethral stricture, who underwent Monsieur's urethroplasty.

A quantitative comparison between free uroflow variables and urodynamic data, and the effect of the size of urodynamic catheters on its interpretation.

Objective: To assess the effect of the urodynamic catheter on the urinary flow rate and residual volume in various urodynamic diagnoses, and compare the outcome when using a smaller catheter, as the effect of this catheter on free uroflow variables is mostly studied in patients with bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) and little is known about its effect in other urodynamic diagnoses.

Patients And Methods: In all, 319 men undergoing a pressure-flow study (PFS) with a 5 F filling and 5 F measuring bladder catheter were subdivided into three groups based on a urodynamic diagnosis, i.e.
