Abstract

  The aim of this work is to study the male dromedary camel urethra grossly, radiographically and ultrasonographically to use them in diagnosis and treatment of the urethral surgical lesions especially in cases of urolithiasis. Eight male dromedary camel urethra samples and six living adult clinically healthy non castrated animals were used in this study. Through our investigation, the techniques mentioned above, give information about the shape and size of the different parts of the male dromedary urethra as well as the urethral length and width. The ultrasonography was used to get measurements of the urethral lumen along its length. The results of this study showed that the male dromedary urethra is relatively short and the width of the urethral lumen decreases gradually toward the tip of the penis as well as the sigmoid flexure in male dromedary urethra is gently curved forming a slight binding. The present study concludes that urethral obstruction occurs rarely in male dromedary urethra. The diagnosis of urethral lesions is impossible by using plane or contrast radiography and the use of ultrasonographic examination of the male dromedary urethra could be successfully used. On the other hand the results of this study showed that the best site for urethrotomy is at the level of the palpable ischial arch approximately 3 cm distal to the anus.
