“…The incidence of reflux would be much higher if this report were limited to patients with recurrent pyelonephritis, or if cineradiography had been used on all the patients. It was interesting to note that 11 (30%) patients stopped refluxing with conserva¬ tive management alone. These, however, were mild cases with no ureteral dilation.…”

A 20-year-old woman and 3 girls were referred to our urodynamic unit because of refractory bed wetting, recurrent urinary tract infection, and/or weak stream. All patients required extremely high detrusor pressure to evacuate urine, a mean of 116 cm of water. Urethral configuration was either a ballooning or a spinning-top shape. Organic stenosis of the urethra was not detected by bougie à boule. Urodynamically, functional obstruction at the distal urethra was found to be an etiology of these symptoms. When the urethra was dilated with the Otis urethrotome, all patients were greatly benefitted both symptomatically and urodynamically without an adverse effect of urinary incontinence. We stress clinical importance of pressure flow study and fluoroscopic monitoring of the bladder and urethra when one encounters female patients with long histories of above symptoms.

In girls there are three distinct morphological kinds of congenital distal urethral stenoses in the broad sense. Incomplete meatal stenoses are the most frequent of these. Calibration of the urethra appeared to be the most reliable diagnostic tool in revealing distal urethral obstructions. To relieve the urodynamically interfering urethral stenoses we developed a resecting surgical technique. In a retrospective study the follow-up after meatoplasty of 163 girls with recurrent urinary tract infections was analysed. The long-term success rate totals up to 83.5%.
