Abstract:
Complete vesicourethral obliteration after retropubic prostatectomy presents a challenging reconstructive problem. We report on 4 men with complete vesicourethral obliteration after radical (n = 3) or simple (n = 1) retropubic prostatectomy in which an antegrade-retrograde endoscopic approach was used to obtain durable urethral patency, with preservation of urinary continence and potency.
