Use of Pedicle Flap from the Labia minora for the Repair of Female Urethral Strictures

Abstract: Introduction: We present the method of pedicle labial urethroplasty for urethral reconstruction in female patients treated for urethral strictures. Patients and Methods: We performed urethral reconstruction using a pedicle labial flap in 2 female patients (23 and 70 years old) for urethral stricture (posttraumatic and postinflammatory origin). We used as a patch a pedicle skin flap obtained from the labia minora. The pedicle flap is slid beneath the vulvovaginal wall, until the urethra is reached. Results: In … Show more

“…Another method of urethroplasty uses a pedicle flap from the labia minora that is then tunneled under the vulvaginal wall. 8 The disadvantage of this approach is that tissue tunneling is required and there could be distortion of the vaginal and perivaginal tissue. Tsivian and Sidi 9 described a dorsal graft urethroplasty with a dorsal vaginal or buccal mucosal graft in two patients.…”

“…Para pacientes seleccionadas con estenosis cortas la uretrotomía interna sería una opción correcta, pero en estenosis proximales existe el riesgo de producir una lesión esfinteriana con la consecuente incontinencia urinaria 10 . Un requisito indispensable para su realización es que la luz de la uretra indemne sea lo suficientemente amplia para permitir el paso del instrumental endoscópico.…”

“…No existe ninguna técnica de elección con una eficacia claramente demostrada a largo plazo. Lo que sí parece demostrado es que aquellas pacientes que presenten defectos parciales o totales de uretra o fracasos repetidos de técnicas menos invasivas como la dilatación o la uretrotomía serán tributarias de técnicas de reconstrucción uretral 10 . El mejor tratamiento quirúrgico en estos casos continúa siendo un asunto a debatir, sin existir un consenso claro de cuál es la mejor opción quirúrgica en estos casos.…”
