This study presents a modified prepubic urethrectomy technique, a safe and quick alternative to perineal urethrectomy. The procedure reduces operative time and avoids the lithotomy position, enhancing patient safety during bladder cancer treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Perineal urethrectomy poses risks like deep venous thrombosis due to the lithotomy position.
  • Prepubic urethrectomy offers a safer alternative, but modifications are needed for bulbous urethra dissection.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a simple modification of prepubic urethrectomy.
  • To evaluate its safety, efficacy, and impact on operative time.

Main Methods:

  • A modified prepubic urethrectomy was performed on 21 patients with invasive bladder carcinoma.
  • The procedure involved periurethral mobilization, catheterization, and distal suturing of the urethra.

Main Results:

  • Operative time was significantly reduced, ranging from 20 to 30 minutes.

  • No significant postoperative complications were observed in the patient cohort.

    • Conclusions:

    • The modified prepubic urethrectomy is a safe, fast, and straightforward surgical technique.
    • This method is a viable alternative for patients undergoing radical cystectomy.
