Laser ablation of urethral hair.

Background And Objective: Two separate cases involving laser ablation of hair follicles in the neourethra are described.

Study Design/materials And Methods: Urethral hair developed secondarily to free-flap urethroplasty for congenital urethral defects. In both cases, cystoscopic depilation with electrocautery fulguration was attempted on multiple occasions.

Results: No improvement was seen; therefore, laser ablation was employed. Both patients remain free of regrowth at greater than one year of follow-up.
