Abstract

Urethral calculi are uncommon problem in urological practice. The incidence of these stones is reported to be lower than 0.3% in the literature. The majority of urethral calculi originates from upper urinary tract or bladder and migrates into the urethra. Native forms are generally associated with postsurgical changes or anatomic abnormalities such as strictures and urethral diverticula. In this paper, we discussed posterior urethral stones in three patients without any urethral anatomic abnormality who were admitted to our clinic over a period of 5 years.

Özet

Üretra taşları üroloji pratiğinde nadir görülen problemlerdendir. Literatürde bu taşların insidensi %0.3’den daha az olarak bildirilmiştir. Üretra taşlarının büyük bir çoğunluğu üst üriner sistem ya da mesanedeki taşların üretraya doğru migrasyonu sonrasında görülür. Primer üretra taşları genellikle postoperatif değişiklikler ya da striktür, üretral divertikül gibi anatomik bozukluklara bağlı olarak oluşur. Bu makalede 5 yıllık süre içerisinde kliniğimize başvuran, üretral anatomik bozuklukluğu olmayan, posterior üretra taşı bulunan 3 hasta tartışılmıştır.
