Figure 1. A, A 40-year-old man presented with difficulty in passing urine. Urethrogram performed demonstrates a peno-bulbar stricture and how measurement of the stricture length was done. A-B is the stricture length; B, A 62-year-old man presented with difficulty in passing urine and multiple sessions of bougienation in the past. Urethrogram revealed multiple strictures with varying degrees of narrowing with a fistula and prostatic extravasation; C, A 48-year-old man presented with acute urinary retention to the emergency department. There was a positive history of progressive difficulty in passing urine. Urethrogram revealed complete urethral stricture showing an abrupt termination of contrast and bulbar dilatation. The rounded lucency is a radiolucent calculus.
