Urethral calculi are uncommon in males and often linked to other urethral issues. This case highlights endoscopic ultrasonic lithotripsy as a treatment for idiopathic urethral stones.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Nephrology
  • Endourology

Context:

  • Urethral calculi are infrequent in the male population.
  • They are typically secondary to underlying urethral pathologies such as diverticula or strictures.
  • Surgical excision combined with addressing the root cause is the standard treatment approach.

Purpose:

  • To report a rare case of idiopathic urethral calculus.
  • To present endoscopic ultrasonic disruption as a viable treatment modality.
  • To emphasize the significance of thorough preoperative etiological investigation.

Summary:

  • A case of a male patient with a urethral calculus of unknown origin is described.
  • The calculus was successfully treated using endoscopic ultrasonic disruption.

  • This approach offers an alternative to traditional surgical excision for select cases.

    • Impact:

    • Demonstrates the efficacy of endoscopic ultrasonic lithotripsy for idiopathic urethral stones.
    • Highlights the need for comprehensive diagnostic workup to identify underlying causes.
    • Contributes to the understanding of rare urethral calculus management strategies.
