Ruchi Mittal, Mukesh Chandra Arya, Amit Sandhu

Abstract :

 Introduction: Posterior urethral valves (PUV) are the commonest cause of obstructive uropathy in boys..We present our experience with a such case.. Patients and methods: A 8 months oid child was presented to us with swelling of penis which increased at the time of voiding and reduced after compression with dribbling of urine from the meatus . Hb and blood biochemistry were normal.USG KUB was normal. MCU shows penile urethral diverticulum with proximal anterior urethral dilatation . We did open diverticulectomy with r urethroplasty . Results : The surgical outcome was successful with good stream of urine and resolution of ventral penile swelling and dribbling of urine. Conclusions : AUV are uncommon causes of infravesical obstruction in males and its rarity warrants presentation. Open surgical excision is the treatment of choice for patients with a urethral diverticulum; The outcome is excellent with minimal morbidity and mortality.
