Abstract: We report the case of a 28-year-old man with an extensive engine of the bulbar and penile urethra, who had been evolving for 2 years and was responsible for daily urethrorrhages. A first attempt at electrocoagulation was a failure because of its intentionally incomplete nature to avoid a risk of cicatricial stenosis. Arteriographic exploration did not reveal any lesions that could benefit from embolization. It was possible to coagulate the angiomatous lesions with a side-firing laser fiber. The immediate aftermath was simple. No urethral catheter was placed postoperatively the patient resumed painless urination. A second session, 7 months later, was necessary to complete the treatment at the angiomatous urethral locations, not visible at the first session, which caused bleeding to become minimal. The decline is 6 months without recurrent bleeding. The use of the Laser therefore seems interesting in the treatment of Urethral hemangiomas.
