Revision surgeries after AUS implantation are a challenging topic. There are multiple salvage techniques for implantation of artificial urinary sphincter in high-risk patients with fragile urethra. Using the corpora cavernosa flaps has been described in some case reports. We describe a modified salvage procedure using tunica flap in patients with fragile urethra. The tunica flap was harvested from the corpora cavernosa and was wrapped around the urethra to provide more protection.

摘要

Revision surgeries after AUS implantation are a challenging topic. There are multiple salvage techniques for implantation of artificial urinary sphincter in high-risk patients with fragile urethra. Using the corpora cavernosa flaps has been described in some case reports. We describe a modified salvage procedure using tunica flap in patients with fragile urethra. The tunica flap was harvested from the corpora cavernosa and was wrapped around the urethra to provide more protection.
