Abstract

End-to-end anastomotic urethroplasty (EEA) for traumatic bulbar urethral stricture has excellent long-term success rate. We encountered a patient with obliterative bulbar stricture and persistent phlegmon in perineum resulting from straddle injury. Phlegmon-excision and EEA was performed, which ended up in recurrence. Thorough excision of recurrent nodules & scar with stage-I urethroplasty was performed using ‘scrotal shutter flap’. Histopathology of phlegmon of first surgery and nodules & urethral margins of second revealed amyloidosis. Stage-II urethroplasty was performed 3-months later after which he is well at 24months follow-up. This is the first case of perineal-urethral amyloid associated with trauma. Etiology is elusive.
