[Common aspects of microsurgical tissue transplantation in reconstructive urology]
Abstract:
The article highlights possibilities and common aspects of microsurgical tissue transplantation in reconstructive urology. The authors share the experience of more than 2000 of microsurgical autotransplantations of revascularized and reinnervated free flaps. The method allows the new approach to such urological conditions as traumatic penis amputation, posttraumatic and inflammatory urethra strictures, inborn genital hypoplasia, impaired sexual identification, etc. The issue analyses the results of treatment of 152 patients with inborn urogenital pathology (220 autotransplantations of revascularized flaps) and 146 patients with acquired urogenital diseases (188 autotransplantations of revascularized flaps) during the period from 1991 to 2011 years.
