Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Andrology
  • Nephrology

Background:

  • Male urethral calculi are uncommon in Western countries but prevalent in developing regions.
  • Urethral stones represent a distinct clinical challenge compared to bladder or kidney stones.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the clinical presentation, etiology, treatment, and prevention strategies for male urethral calculi.
  • To report on a series of 26 male patients treated for urethral stones over a six-year period.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective case series analysis of 26 male patients with urethral calculi.
  • Documentation of patient demographics, stone location, size, number, and treatment outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Patients ranged from 12 to 67 years old.
  • Stones were found throughout the urethra, with a predilection for the posterior region.
  • Multiple stones were identified in 6 cases, and large/giant calculi in 5 cases.

Conclusions:

  • Male urethral stones require specific diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.
  • Understanding the etiology and presentation is crucial for effective management and prevention in endemic areas.
