Urethral reconstruction before renal transplantation.

J Rajfer, A Dumke, R J Glassock

    The Journal of Urology
    |March 1, 1983

    Summary

    This study details the first successful reconstruction of a transected urethra after pelvic fracture and rectourethral fistula, prior to kidney transplantation. It highlights the importance of lower urinary tract reconstruction before diversion in transplant candidates with dysfunction.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Trauma Surgery
    • Transplantation

    Background:

    • Pelvic fractures can cause severe lower urinary tract damage, including transection of the proximal urethra and rectourethral fistulas.
    • Such injuries pose significant challenges, particularly in patients requiring renal transplantation.

    Observation:

    • This report presents the first case of successful reconstruction for a long-standing transected proximal urethra.
    • The patient had a history of pelvic fracture and a rectourethral fistula, with renal transplantation planned.

    Findings:

    • Surgical reconstruction of the damaged urethra was achieved prior to renal transplantation.
    • The successful outcome supports a specific approach to managing complex lower urinary tract injuries.

    Implications:

    • Reconstruction of the lower urinary tract should be prioritized in patients with dysfunction before supravesical diversion, especially potential transplant recipients.
    • This approach may improve outcomes and potentially avoid the need for diversion in select cases.
    • This case provides valuable evidence for surgical decision-making in complex genitourinary trauma preceding transplantation.
