An unusual complication of urethral stent.
A 62-year-old man with recurrent urethral stricture and an indwelling urethral stent presented to us with symptoms of difficult voiding. Retrograde urethrogram confirmed narrowing of the lumen of the urethra and a visual internal urethrotomy was done. However, during the urethrotomy, dense fibrosis around the stent was encountered making the incision difficult and leading to breakage of the blade of the urethrotome.
