“…The concept of the fascia lata in reconstructive surgery is well documented in the literature. In urology, it has been utilized as a bladder wall substitute [15], in penile straightening procedures [16], as a suburethral sling in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence [17] and to repair parastomal hernias in ileal conduit [18].…”

Introduction: Urethral reconstruction is difficult when the genital skin is not available for surgery. We evaluate the feasibility of using the autologous fascia lata as a graft for urethral repair. Materials and Methods: 10 male rabbits underwent urethroplasty after creation of a ventral urethral defect. The defect was repaired using a graft harvested from the fascia lata. The animals were divided into three groups and sacrificed at 2, 4 and 12 weeks postoperatively. Radiologic control was performed after 10–12 days and before sacrifice. Results: In the 10 rabbits subjected to surgery, no case of death or wound infection was observed. During urethrography, a fistula was observed in 2 animals. In the remainder (n = 8), histological analysis showed the preservation of the original laminar structure without graft shrinkage or fibrosis. On the luminal side of the patch, a new line of urothelium appeared in the 2nd week after surgery. After 3 months, the new epithelium was multilayered and the graft edges were not detectable. No voiding dysfunction was detectable in 8 rabbits. Conclusions: Our study suggests the feasibility of using the autologous fascia lata for urethral patch repair.

Over the past 30 years, the pubovaginal sling has surpassed retropubic and transvaginal suspensions as the most common surgical operation for correcting stress urinary incontinence. This resurgence has been due in part to innovative technological advances that have shortened operative times and expedited postoperative recovery. The introduction of novel allografts, xenografts and synthetic materials has also been accompanied by unique complications, previously not encountered with autologous materials. The aim of this review is to compare the available sling materials in the context of biocompatibility and efficacy.
