Abstract
Complete vesicourethral obliteration after retropubic prostatectomy present s a challenging reconstructive problem. We report on 4 men with complete ve sicourethral obliteration after radical (n = 3) or simple (n = 1) retropubi c prostatectomy in which an antegrade-retrograde endoscopic approach was us ed to obtain durable urethral patency, with preservation of urinary contine nce and potency.
