tile dysfunction was present in 23 patients (23%). Terminal urethrogram was the main surgical technique used, followed by internal urethrotomy (60% and 30% respectively). 15 patients had a recurrence, with an average of 1-second operation. Statistical analysis of the different factors studied showed no correlation with the occurrence of recurrence after surgical treatment. Conclusion: The medium and long term results of anastomotic repair of the posterior urethra do not seem to depend on the lesion parameters of the stenosis (site, number, extent, presence of associated bony lesions or erectile disorders).
Bladder lithiasis refers to the disease associated with the formation of stones in the bladder. These stones, which can reach several centimetres in size, are formed from aggregates of various mineral and organic substances. Most often these stones are formed as a result of poor bladder evacuation. We report a case of bladder macrolithiasis associated with two stones: right ureteral and renal on bladder neck stenosis revealed by hypogastric pain and signs of lower urinary tract and complicated by renal failure in a 42 year old patient. The physical examination revealed bilateral lumbar tenderness and a hard hypogastric palpable mass. Imaging revealed the presence of a bladder macrolithiasis occluding almost the entire bladder associated with a pelvic ureter stone and a right renal corraliform stone. The treatment consisted of a suprapubic cystotomy with extraction of the macro bladder stone and the ureteral stone delivered through the meatus by ureterolithotomy with cervical incision of the bladder neck. The postoperative course was simple. The evolution was marked by the normalization of the renal function. The patient underwent a lumbotomy for his right kidney stone 2 months later.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
