Abstract :

Introduction: Urolithiasis is still intriguing due to its mysterious and complex nature, although being known to mankind from before the Christian era.

Objectives: The main objective of the study is to analyse the management of impacted urethral stone in children.

Material and methods: This cross sectional study was conducted in Foundation University Islamabad during 2020 to 2021. The data were collected from 100 patients. The age range was 1 month to 5 years.The definite history of the multitude of patients were accumulated and 24 hour urine test was gathered from every patient and sent for PH, explicit gravity, Creatinine, uric corrosive, calcium, phosphate, oxalate, citrate and magnesium.

Results: The data were collected from 100 patients with the mean age 38 ± 9.01 months. There were 35 male and 65 female patients who were selected this investigation. The primary introducing grievance was amble torment on the influenced side for example in 79.0% patients, trailed by hematuria and consuming micturation.

Conclusions: Urethral stone is an important cause of acute retention of urine in children. Anterior urethra is more frequent site of obstruction.
