The sloughed urethra syndrome.

J E Morgan, G A Farrow, R H Sima

    American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology
    |March 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    Urethral sloughing after childbirth or surgery causes total urinary incontinence. A new surgical technique using vaginal tissue, a bulbocavernosus graft, and a Marlex sling successfully reconstructed the urethra in nine patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Gynecology
    • Reconstructive Surgery

    Background:

    • Urethral sloughing, often due to obstetric trauma or pelvic surgery, typically leads to complete urinary incontinence.
    • This specific syndrome affects a small but significant subset of patients investigated for incontinence.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a novel surgical technique for urethral reconstruction in patients with total urinary incontinence secondary to urethral sloughing.
    • To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of this reconstructive approach.

    Main Methods:

    • A cohort of nine patients with urethral sloughing and total urinary incontinence was identified.
    • Surgical reconstruction involved utilizing vaginal wall tissue, a bulbocavernosus muscle graft for support, and a Marlex mesh sling.

    Main Results:

    • The described technique successfully reconstructed the urethra in the studied patients.
    • Outcomes regarding the resolution of total urinary incontinence were assessed and are discussed.

    Conclusions:

    • The presented surgical method offers a viable solution for managing total urinary incontinence caused by urethral sloughing.
    • This reconstructive approach, combining vaginal flaps, grafts, and slings, shows promise for restoring urethral function.
