Abstract

A 27-year-old male presented with recurrent urinary tract infections, calculus formation and hair follicles in urine following urethroplasty. The patient was treated with urethroscopic holmium laser in 2012, which was performed by Beiko for the first time in the literature to remove stones and epilate hair follicles. At 3-month, 3-year and 6-year follow-ups, the patient was symptom and infection-free. Urethrocystoscopy was performed in the 6-year follow-up, and no stone formation was observed. There were only a few hair follicles that were too short to require re-surgery. Urethral hair follicles and stone formation are uncommon long term complications following urethroplasty. Endoscopic holmium laser hair epilation is a rarely performed treatment option for hair follicles and urethral stone. Holmium:YAG laser epilation may be an alternative, minimally invasive treatment option with successful long term outcomes.

Abstract

27 yaşında erkek hasta, tekrarlayan idrar yolu enfeksiyonu, idrarda taş oluşumu ve idrarla kıl gelmesi şikayetleri ile başvurdu. Hasta 2012 yılında, Beiko tarafından literatürde ilk kez uygulanan üretradan taş çıkarmak ve kıl köklerinin epilasyonu için yapılan üretroskopik olarak holmium lazer ile tedavi edildi. Kısa süreli 3.ay ve uzun süreli 3 ve 6 yıllık takiplerde hastada enfeksiyon gelişmedi. Üretrosistoskopi 6.yıl takibinde yapıldı. Üretrosistoskopide cerrahi gerektirecek taş ve kıl kökü oluşumu görülmedi. Semptom vermeyen ve cerrahi gerektirmeyecek kadar kısa olan birkaç kıl kökü görüldü. Üretral kıl folikülleri ve taş oluşumu, üretroplastiyi takiben nadir görülen uzun dönem komplikasyonlardır. Endoskopik holmium lazer epilasyonu kıl kökleri ve üretra taşı için nadiren uygulanan bir tedavi seçeneğidir. Holmium:YAG lazer epilasyonu minimal invaziv yaklaşım ve iyi uzun dönem sonuçlar ile alternatif bir tedavi seçeneği olabilir.
