OBJECTIVES: Urethral pathology hasalways been an interesting topic for study, being presentin texts from 600 years B.C, where wood and metallicdilators are described. First external urethrotomiesappear in the Jewish-Muslim period, and Francisco Diazdescribes in 1588 the treatment of the prostate in hisbook “Tratamiento de las carnosidades de la verga”.With Civiale and Maisoneuve, between 1700 and1800, appears the description of the urethrotome, andfinally in the middle XIX century starts the search foradequate tissues to replace urethra.METHODS: We review all articles on the topic of urethralpathology from authors from Valencia in that period, mainly published in the journal “Revista Valenciana deCiencias Médicas”.RESULTS: We emphasize the use of bulbs and soundsin the approach to urethral stenosis by several authors,with their advantages and limitations. We also emphasizethe description of external urethrotomy by Prof. Molla.Finally, we point out the treatment of a posterior urethrafracture by tunneling reported by Dr. AlfredoTramoyeres.CONCLUSIONS: Despite not being a topic with a highvolume of publications, it has always interested authors.We describe all treatments, and sound insertion anddilation techniques as first option.
