ABSTRACT
Urethral stricture is a rare condition in women, representing a diagnostic challenge for the urologist. Its main etiology is traumatic or due to labor. Definitive treatment can be by means of dilations or urethroplasty using both local flaps and free grafts. In this study, we report the case of a patient with voiding symptoms during a period of 9 years after childbirth, despite an attempt of urethral dilation and chronic self-catheterization. The patient was finally diagnosed of a long distal urethral stricture, and she underwent urethroplasty with an anterior vaginal wall flap with satisfactory results. We take the opportunity to briefly review the diagnostic pathway in women with obstructive symptoms and the main female urethroplasty techniques.
