[Mucous prolapse of the urethra].
Urethral prolapse represent a rare cause of urological consultation. Frequent in older women, it also happens in under 10-year-old little girls with a racial predominance. For most cases, medical treatment and follow-up are sufficient, but failure of these or possible complications may necessitate a surgical correction. Circumferential excision and muco-mucous suture are effective treatments with very few complications. About four case-reports, we are reviewing here the literature and discussing etiopathogenic mechanisms and therapeutic options for this disease.
