Abstract

Complete urethral loss with vesicovaginal fistula is very infrequently encountered by the urologist. Urethral reconstruction may be accomplished with either bladder or vaginal wall flap. Moreover, it usually is necessary to reinforce the continence of reconstructed urethra with a well-vascularized pedicle flap from either the Martius labial flap, gracilis, perineum, or rectus. We report a case of the complete urethral loss with vesicovaginal fistula treated successfully with bilateral Martius labial fat graft.
