Endoscopic urethroplasty offers a less invasive approach for posterior urethral disruption repair. This technique preserves continence and erectile function by minimizing trauma to sensitive pelvic floor tissues.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Traumatic posterior urethral disruption often requires surgical repair.
  • Open repair techniques can cause significant trauma to the scarred urethra and pelvic floor.

Observation:

  • A novel endoscopic urethroplasty technique utilizes fluoroscopic guidance.
  • This method precisely aligns the new urethral channel, minimizing disruption to surrounding nerves and muscles.

Findings:

  • The described endoscopic urethroplasty limits surgical trauma compared to open repair.
  • It obviates the need for a second surgeon, simplifying the procedure.
  • Maximal preservation of post-traumatic continence and erectile function is achieved by minimizing blind instrument passage.

Implications:
