title: Symptomatic urethral hair ball and diverticulum complicating island flap urethroplasty.
abstract: A 29-year-old man underwent a one-stage island flap urethroplasty, using perineal skin, to treat a urethral stricture. Four years following surgery he represented with symptoms from a urethral diverticulum containing a hair ball. This was at the site of the previous urethroplasty and was treated by excision.
