Abstract

The anterior urethral valve (AUV) is a rare cause of obstructive uropathy in children; they are much rarer than posterior urethral valves. A 13-year-old male presented with obstructive and irritative lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). On urethrocystoscopy, an AUV with a diverticulum was noted in the ventral surface of the urethra. It was ablated endoscopically using the holmium laser. Postoperatively, the patient voided successfully without any immediate complications. AUV with diverticulum may occur in adolescents. Endoscopic holmium laser ablation of the valve and the diverticulum is associated with good outcome. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
