    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Surgical Techniques
    • Reconstructive Surgery

    Background:

    • Membranous urethral strictures pose significant challenges in urological reconstruction.
    • Previous surgical methods may involve complex procedures with potential complications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the transpubic approach for primary anastomosis in treating membranous urethral strictures.
    • To assess the impact of this technique on patient continence and potency.

    Main Methods:

    • Eleven patients with membranous urethral strictures underwent transpubic repair.
    • The procedure involved excision of a pubic bone wedge for optimal surgical exposure.
    • Distal urethral mobilization and intercrural septum incision were utilized to ensure adequate urethral length.

    Main Results:

    • The transpubic approach provided excellent surgical exposure for primary urethral anastomosis.
    • No orthopedic complications were reported following pubic bone wedge excision.
    • All patients achieved satisfactory results with tension-free anastomosis.
    • Postoperative continence and potency were preserved in all evaluated patients.

    Conclusions:

    • Transpubic repair is a safe and effective surgical option for membranous urethral strictures.
    • This technique facilitates tension-free anastomosis and avoids adverse effects on sexual function and urinary control.
    • The method offers a reliable solution for complex urethral stricture disease.
