UROLUME DOUBLE PROSTHESIS IN THE TREATMENT OF COMPLEX URETHRAL STRUCTURES - A 5-YEAR FOLLOW-UP CASE-REPORT

The 5-year follow-up of the implantation of a UroLume double urethral stent in 2 patients with recurrent, post-traumatic urethral strictures is presented. The double implantation for each patient was done by th e long extension of the urethral lesion. Only 1 patient presented a si ngle phosphatic concretion in the implantation area during the extende d follow-up. Urinary flow rates remained absolutely normal. Sexual lif e was unaffected. This simple modification of the UroLume implantation may offer effective treatment for extended and recurrent posterior ur ethral strictures in young sexually active men, for almost 5 years wit hout early or delayed complications of clinical relevance.
