The pathology of urethral stricture

M Singh et al. J Urol. 1976 Jun.

Abstract

In this 3-part study the distribution of the post-gonococcal stricture has been related to the disposition of mucous glands in paraurethral glands by mapping the distribution of these glands in the human male urethra. Experimental study in the rat has indicated the role of extravasation of urine in the pathogenesis of urethral stricture. Lastly, the ultrastructure of urethral stricture tissue has revealed features that suggest why some strictures are fibrous and others resilient.
