Neourethral meatus reconstruction for vulvectomies requiring resection of the distal part of the urethra

摘要

Objective: Vulvar cancer is a relatively rare tumour accounting for just 5% of all gynaecological malignancies. Radical excision can sometimes involve the distal one-third to one-half of the urethra leading to postoperative problems with micturition, asymmetries and psychosexual distress. Although this topic has been largely addressed, no specific method for distal urethra reconstruction has been described. The aim of this paper is to assess the safety and reliability of our reconstructive technique.
