Patient has multi-focal stricture(s) of the penile and bulbar urethra with multiple prior dilations, etiology likely iatrogenic from multiple foley placements and prior instrumentations.Was not considered a good candidate for urethroplasty given total length of reconstruction required so decided to utilize optilume.Medical history includes leukemia with radiation of retroperitoneal lymph nodes and testicular cancer with bilateral orchiectomy.On the day of treatment, proximal strictures were not flow limiting and allowed passage of the scope to the level of the bulbar urethra.Dense/fibrotic bulbar stricture did not allow passage of the scope, was pre-dilated.Scope was able to pass to bladder after pre-dilation.A single 30f x 50mm optilume urethral dcb was advanced into position across the bulbar stricture and inflated for 5 minutes.A foley catheter was placed.Patient returned 3 days post-op for foley removal, was observed to be in good health.At 10 days post-op, the subject returns with complaints of urine leakage from the penile shaft near the base of the penis, diagnosis of a urethrocutaneous fistula noted.Physician encountered difficulty advancing a ureteroscope through the meatus and proximal urethra due to obstruction, but was eventually able to access the bladder.A suprapubic catheter was placed.Patient returns 4 weeks post-op and a retrograde urethrogram was conducted.Imaging noted an obliterative stricture in the proximal penile urethra, urethrocutaneous fistula was noted as qualitatively resolved.
