Abstract:
Penoscrotal transposition and pendulous-prostatic anastomotic urethroplasty for the treatment of long-segment bulbar and membranous urethral stenosis is rarely reported. This study reports the case of a 43-year-old man with dysuria resulting from pelvic fracture. The patient had a long-term history of multiple urethral reconstructions and presented a long-segment bulbar and membranous urethral stenosis at imaging. Penoscrotal transposition and pendulous-prostatic anastomotic urethroplasty was performed and completed in 170 min (blood loss: 400 ml). Postoperative treatment was uneventful with favorable short-term outcomes and high patient satisfaction without recurrence at 12-month follow-up. This surgical technique should be attempted in carefully selected patients with long-segment bulbar and membranous urethral stenosis and performed by an experienced urethral reconstruction specialist.
