“…These lesions include urethritis, stricture, caruncle, inflammatory polyps and cysts, prolapse of the urethra, urethral cancer, and diverticulum [1]. In addition to urethral stricture, which is a well-known pathology as a reason for voiding difficulties, a case of bulbar urethral polyp with obstructive voiding symptoms was presented in the literature [2]. Urethral caruncle (UC) is a sensitive vascular tumor localized on the floor of the urethral meatus that was first described by Samuel Sharp in 1750 [3].…”

PurposeThe aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of asymptomatic urethral caruncle (UC) on micturition in women suffering from urinary incontinence.Materials and MethodsA total of 232 patients participated in the study. UC was diagnosed in 50 of 232 patients with urinary incontinence during a physical examination in our clinic. All cases were divided into 2 groups: UC combined with urinary incontinence (group 1) and urinary incontinence only (group 2). Urodynamic evaluations were performed according to the International Continence Society standards.ResultsBoth groups were similar in terms of voiding diary, pad test and residual urine volume. Urodynamic studies revealed no significant difference between group 1 and 2 (infravesical obstruction: 6% vs. 4.4%; overactive detrusor: 44% vs. 42.9% respectively). The rates of severe IPSS (37.8% vs. 20.9%) and severe cystocele (20.9% vs. 13.8%) were numerically higher in group 1 with no statistically significant difference.ConclusionsOur results suggest that there is no effect of asymptomatic UC on lower urinary tract symptoms in women with urinary incontinence. Therefore, treating asymptomatic UC is unnecessary in these patients. However, during incontinence surgery, it is the surgeon's decision whether to treat asymptomatic UC.

The aim: To improve the results of treatment of patients with polyps of the external urethral orifice by using minimally invasive surgery. Materials and methods: The materials of the work are based on clinical examination and treatment of 22 patients with polyps of the external urethral orifice in the treatment of which, along with classical treatment were used minimally invasive methods of removal of polyps of the external urethral orifice using high-intensity laser. Results: We managed to reduce the duration of surgery and treatment twice less, to avoid typical complications, which accelerated the regeneration process and the rehabilitation period. Conclusions: The use of minimally invasive surgical methods to remove urethral polyps can reduce the duration of treatment by reduction of the thermal and mechanical load on the surrounding tissues and reducing the time of surgery.
