Intercavernous Embedding of Bulboperineal Urethra in the Treatment of Male Urinary Incontinence after Prostate Operation
Abstract：Objectives: To describe the operation procedure of intercavernousembedding of bulboperineal urethra and evaluate its efficacy in treating male urinary incontinence after prostate operation. Methods: This kind of surgical treatment was given to six cases of urinary incontinence over 20 months after prostate operation with conservative therapy failure.Prepared bulboperineal urethra along its entire length and then embedded perineal urethra between corpora that were closed with sutures. U-shaped suture was placed on bulbous urethra and anchored distally to corpora. Results: Follow-up ranged from 9 months to 6 years,revealed that 5 cases had completed urinary continence and 1 case experienced considerable improvement after secondary embedding of bulbous urethra because of first failure. Conclusions: The etiology of male urinary incontinence is proximal and distal sphincteric mechanism damage following either prostatectomy or urethra balloon dilatation.Surgical treatment could be performed for those urinary incontinent patients after failure of conservative treatment, over 12 months.The technique of embedding bulboperineal urethra could be easily performed and might bring out a good result with fewer complications.
