LASER EPILATION OF THE NEOURETHRAL HAIR

A 57 year old gentleman -case of urethroplasty with scrotal flap for anterior urethral stricture- had complaints of unabated dysuria and recurrent UTIs.There was no relief with the antibiotic therapy(both curative and suprressive).His urethroscopy had revealed adequate lumen(with diverticulae) with plenty of hair arising out of the scrotal flap area used for urethroplasty.He is presently planned for LASER(continuous 2 micron Thulium LASER) epilation.The hair might be acting as reservoir for the recurrent infections and also could result in dysuria.
