title: Treatment of a recurrent penobulbar urethral stricture after wallstent implantation with a second inner wallstent.
abstract: The wallstent has been proved to be effective for the treatment of bulbar urethral strictures. Only a few failures are reported in the literature. We present a case of a patient with a recurrent stricture after wallstent implantation. The recurrence has been managed successfully with gradual dilation and with the insertion of an inner stent inside the first one, with a twenty-nine-month follow-up.
