Treatment of anterior urethral rupture and stenosis at Cho Ray Hospital during 2 years (1996-1997)

Urethral rupture and stenosis make difficulties in daily activities and reduces the patient’s quality of life. Several treatments for these conditions are available. The study reviewed 65 cases with urethral rupture and stenosis that were treated at the Department of Urology, Cho Ray Hospital during 2 yeas from 1996 to 1997. Results: The end-end urethral anastomosis produced the high rate of success. The Leveuf’s approach is favorable for cases with penial urethral stenosis. The Moseur’s procedure provided limit result. For subtotal urethral rupture, the periodical follow-up played an important role

Treatment of urethral stenosid due to urogenital tuberculosis

During 5 years from January 1995 to December 1999, in the Department of Urology of B×nh D©n hospital, we have treated 193 cases of urogenital tuberculosis coming from South Vietnam in which there were 86 cases (44.55%) with complication of ureteral stenosis in many different forms and degrees. The most common stenotic lesions were pelvic and juxtavesical stenosis (61.62%), the mid-ureteral stenosis and uretero - pelvic stenosis were rare (8.13% and 1.16%, respectively), or segmental stenosis (20.93%). In 86 cases of ureteral stenosis, there were 13 cases (15.115) with concomitant deterioration of the ipsilateral kidney. Treatment for this specific complication of the disease usually faces many difficulties, because of many internal and external causes.
