LOWER URINARY TRACT OBSTRUCTION AND SUBCLINICAL NEUROGENIC BLADDER IN CHILDHOOD

III THE URETHRAL RING STENOSIS

Abstract

Two hundred forty-two chidren with urethral ring stenosis were investigated by the urological and urodynamic examinations. Althouth the diameter of the urethral ring itself was confirmed to be the less contributing factor to the symptomatology, voiding cystourethrographies and simultaneous recordings of intravesical pressure and electromyographies of striated external sphincter demonstrated some characteristic figures. But diagnosis of minor urethral ring stenosis and decision of surgical treatment are still under discussion.
