Methods: In 131 cases of adenoma of the posteriorurethra, aged 17-79 (mean: 36.4) years, a detailed medical history was taken and urinalysis, urethroscopy, and pro-static specific antigen (PSA) immunohistochemical staining were performed. They were then treated with transurethralresection (TUR) or transurethral electric coagulation (TUEC). Results: Hemospennia occurred in 51% of the cas-es, hemamria in 38%, blood overflow from the urethral orifice in 6%, and dysuria in 5%. The position of the tumorwas at or around the vemmontanum. The appearance of the tumor was similar to those of a papilla, a villus, a dactylor polyp, or simply an engorgement. The tumor contained glandular alveoli and adeno-epithelial cells. PSA immuno-histochemistry was positive in the cytoplasm and nucleus of the adeno-epithelial cell. One hundred and tweenty-ninecases were cured after TUR or TUEC, while 2 patients recurred and were operated again. Conclusion: Adenoma ofthe posterior urethra is a common cause of hemospennia and hematuria in young men. Urethroscopic examination andbiopsy are the principal diagnostic measures. TUR or TUEC are believed to be the treatment of choice with a short-termrecurrence rate of around 1.5%. (Asian J Androl 2000; 3: 67-70)展开更多

The diagnosis was made by retrograde urethrocystography and micturition, supplemented by ultrasound. <strong>Results:</strong> During this period, 26 patients (1.7%) had a PUV. The mean age of the patients was 73, 2 months with extremes ranging from 6 to 180 months. Fifteen patients consulted for dysuria, 8 for complete retention of urine. Only one patient had a history of rolling the valves to the benign ones. The main complications found were urinary tract infection in 15 children, urolithiasis in 3 children and renal failure in 2 children. Two children had serum creatinine values of 50 and 58 mg/L. The lamination of the posterior urethral valves was performed in all patients. In our series, we had one death from chronic renal failure in a 6-year-old child with a bilateral mute kidney at IVU. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> The valve diagnosis of the posterior urethra is made late because the diagnosis is still postnatal.展开更多

Subjects and Methods: The voiding pattern and emptying ability were followed using the 4-hour voiding observation method in 17 Vietnamese boys with PUV aged 3 months to 4 years who had been potty-trained from infancy. This group was compared with a group of healthy Vietnamese boys. Results: In the boys with PUV, the bladder volume increased according to age, and interrupted voiding was rare. However, when comparing boys with PUV with healthy boys, a significant difference was noted with more frequent voidings and lower voided volumes in the age group 0 - 1 year (P < 0.001). Despite the minimum amount of residual urine, average 8 ml or less in the boys with PUV, the age groups 1 - 2 and 2 - 4 years had significantly higher residual volumes compared with those of the healthy boys (P The findings from the 4-hour voiding observation showed few signs of dysfunctional bladder in the Vietnamese boys with PUV, including residual urine, even if there were signs of dysfunction compared with the healthy Vietnamese boys. Potty training from infancy could favor early bladder rehabilitation in boys with PUV.展开更多

The case of a 4-year-old patient treated for a posterior urethral valve with bilateral renal cortical atrophy was reviewed. The diagnosis was confirmed by abdominal ultrasound, cystography and abdominal CT. He was referred to Martinique (a tertiary health establishment) for effective support. From the acute situation to the fortuitous discovery, its understanding must be deepened because of the potential immediate symptomatic impact in the form of renal colic which can be associated with sepsis, as well as in the long term on renal function. This observation is intended to help the attending physician to initiate his diagnosis and treatment.展开更多

In the latter case, several techniques are used taking into account several factors. Our objective was therefore to investigate the possible prognostic factors of failure of this surgical management. Material and Methods: We conducted a retrospective study from January 2006 to December 2017 on patients admitted to the Urology Department of the Mohammed 6 University Hospital of Marrakech for management of post-traumatic posterior urethral stenosis. The parameters studied were age, medical and surgical history, causes, characteristics of the stenosis (location, number, length), associated lesions, surgical technique used, and evolution. The descriptive analysis consisted of calculation of absolute and relative frequencies for the qualitative variables, and of position and dispersion parameters for the quantitative variables (mean, standard deviation). In bivariate analysis, the comparison of categorical variables used Pearson’s Chi-square statistical test and Fisher’s test if necessary. The significance threshold was set at p Results: A total of 30 cases were selected. The age of our patients varied between 18 and 68 years, with an average of 38.33 years (16 - 80 years);the most affected age group was between 20 and 39 years. The mode of revelation of urethral damage was dominated by acute retention of urine present in 76% of patients, followed by dysuria (33%). The stenosis extended over 21.91 mm on average (14 - 40 mm). It was accompanied by bone involvement in 15 patients (53.3%). Erectile 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).展开更多
