Optilume® drug-coated balloon dilation in complex female urethral stricture.

The treatment of female urethral stricture disease is in flux in terms of developing guidelines for surgical treatment. Urethral strictures in women are rare, but frequently result because of urethral instrumentation or surgery. Stricture sites vary from proximal, intrasphincteric, distal or at the meatus.

Urethro-cavernosal-spongiosal fistula after intralesional mitomycin C for recurrent urethral stricture disease.

Intralesional mitomycin C after direct visual internal urethrotomy for recurrent urethral stricture disease in patients suboptimal for open urethroplasty is an established option. We report a case of urethro-cavernosal-spongiosal fistula after intralesional mitomycin C into an area of previous dorsal inlay urethroplasty. The patient presented with pus draining from the urethral meatus ten days after treatment.

Excessive fibrosis and non-function after ATOMS (adjustable transobturator male system): A case of capsular contracture?

The adjustable transobturator male system (ATOMS) treats post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence by compression of the proximal bulbous urethra. It reminds of the Kaufman prosthesis described in 1978. We describe a case where an excessive fibrotic reaction occurred around the cushion.

World record: Single AMS 800 artificial urinary sphincter functioning uninterrupted for 29 years in male paraplegic patient.

Lapides has revolutionized the treatment of neurogenic patients by introducing routine intermittent catheterization in 1971. This drastically lowered mortality from urosepsis. Scott introduced the artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) in 1972.

Intrapelvic bulboprostatic repair after urethral distraction injury and failed bulbomembranous anastomosis.

A failed end-to-end anastomosis after membranous urethral distraction injury post-trauma is a surgical challenge. We present a case of a young man after complex pelvic injury. Revision urethroplasty was done utilizing nerve and vessel sparing techniques.
