Urethral calculi, rare stones in the urethra, are typically removed surgically. This study shows impacted distal urethral calculi can be extracted effectively with a penile ring block and forceps, avoiding general anesthesia.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Nephrology

Background:

  • Urethral calculi are uncommon urinary tract stones.
  • They typically originate from the kidneys or bladder.
  • Standard treatment involves endoscopic extraction under anesthesia.

Observation:

  • Two cases of impacted distal urethral calculi were treated.
  • A penile ring block was utilized for local anesthesia.
  • Forceps were used for direct stone extraction.

Findings:

  • Successful extraction of impacted distal urethral calculi was achieved in both cases.
  • The penile ring block provided adequate anesthesia for the procedure.
  • This minimally invasive approach avoided the need for general anesthesia.

Implications:

  • Penile ring block with forceps offers a viable alternative for treating impacted distal urethral calculi.
  • This method may reduce risks and costs associated with general anesthesia.
  • Further studies are warranted to evaluate the broader applicability of this technique.
