title: Urethral stricture after pancreas-kidney transplantation due to polypoid urethritis.
abstract: Urologic complications are common after pancreas-kidney transplantation using bladder drainage. We report a case of urethral stricture caused by polypoid urethritis occurring 4 years after simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation. Endoscopic exploration revealed irregular, ragged-appearing urethral mucosa. The diagnosis of polypoid urethritis was confirmed histopathologically.
