Objective. To study the effectiveness of surgical treatment of extended strictures of the posterior urethra by the method of bypass heterotopic urethroplasty.
The authors present 3 patients after urethral reconstruction by the method of bypass heterotopic urethroplasty. Patients before surgery were united by the lack of patency of the posterior urethra for a significant length as a result of trauma or iatrogenic injury, as well as the need to have a cystostomy and the inability to restore the patency of the urethra by traditional methods of conservative and surgical treatment.
The patency of the urethra was restored in all patients, the cystostomy was removed, and a certain level of control of urination was achieved.
The method of bypass heterotopic urethroplasty may become the operation of choice in the treatment of hard-to-reach strictures and obliterations of the posterior urethra due to the high effectiveness of treatment. Despite the fact that the issue of incontinence remains unresolved, this method allows us to hypothesize that neosphincter mechanisms can spontaneously form in the area of anastomosis of the heterotopic urethra and the bladder wall over time.
