Excerpt from On Spasmodic Urethral Stricture
In comparing the views of these recent, accepted authorities in regard to spasmodic urethral stricture, it will be observed that all agree as to its frequency, its transient character, and its easy management.
Dittel met with a case where the pressure of the end of a catheter for fifteen minutes, against the face of a spasmodic stricture, at the membranous portion, was required before it yielded. Van Buren and Keyes have evidently had similar experiences, as they note this occasional persistence of the spasmodic barrier. Sir Henry Thompson inclines to ignore the existence of the spas modic stricture, and attributes to ignorance and incapacity the arrest of an instrument in its passage into the bladder, from any cause but an organic one. In this Mr. Erichsen seems quite inclined to agree, although appreciating the possible occurrence of a spasmodic stricture which should be so persistent that it mig/zt be mistaken for an organic contraction.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the diagnosis and treatment of spasmodic urethral strictures, which are temporary muscular contractions within the urethra. It examines the historical understanding of spasmodic urethral stricture, noting that it was once attributed to muscle spasms surrounding the urethra rather than the urethra itself. The author presents several clinical cases to illustrate the difficulty in differentiating spasmodic strictures from organic ones, as they share similar symptoms such as a decreased urine stream and frequent urination. The author emphasizes the importance of accurately distinguishing between the two types of strictures, as spasmodic strictures can be managed differently from organic strictures. By providing a comprehensive overview of the topic, this book contributes to a better understanding of urethral strictures and their treatment.
