Abstract
Abstract
Urethral stricture disease is an abnormal narrowing and loss of distensibility of the urethra due to spongiofibrosis. It is commoner in young adult males. The management of this condition is diverse with various factors influencing the choice of treatment. However, length of the stricture is a major determinant of the choice of treatment. Two or more stricture sites close together are also treated as long segment stricture. Our aim is to describe a variant of multiple urethral strictures consisting of two short segment complete strictures involving the proximal bulbar urethral and urethral meatus with intervening significant length of normal urethra "close-loop stricture" in a 46-year old man who had traumatic urethral catheterization and was referred to the urology clinic six months following suprapubic tube cystostomy.
