Abstract
- The UroLume urethral stent (American Medical Systems) was introduced to the market in 1988 for management of male urethral stricture and benign prostatic hyperplasia. <superscript>1</superscript> However, recent reports in the literature showed long-term complications, including: urethral restenosis, urethral pain, recurrent urinary tract infections, and stent migration. Therefore, UroLume's efficacy in managing bladder outlet obstruction had to be weighed against an alarmingly high rate of long-term complications. <superscript>2,3</superscript> In this report, the role of ultrasonography scan and magnetic resonance in the diagnosis and management of UroLume complications is evaluated.<br /> (Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Inc.
