19–22 APRIL, 2017, BARCELONA, SPAIN

Suprapubic catheter was inserted. Adjacent muscular and connective tissue was overlapped. Pubis

diastasis was approximated and monsplasty accomplished. Labia minora and bifid clitoris were

approximated medially, labia majora were rotated supero-medially and vulvo-introitoplasty was

accomplished.

RESULTS

Four FE girls, 15 months - 4 years aged, consecutively underwent the same procedure in the last

12 months. Surgery required 90-125 mins. Post-operative period was uneventful. The transurethral

catheter was removed at day 8

th

and the suprapubic at day 15

th

. At 3-9 months follow-up, cosmetic

appearance of external genitalia was almost normal and 3 girls experienced 2-3 hours day intervals

without significant urine residual. One girl presented stress urinary incontinence, progressively

reducing.

CONCLUSIONS

FE repair is often underestimated with disappointing results. Our procedure extends to FE the

principles of perineal reconstruction adopted for exstrophy, through a limited transpubic perineal

approach.

PURPOSE

Over the years, many options for improving bladder outlet resistance in neurogenic bladder have

been described. Minimally invasive techniques are becoming more popular due to the difficult ac-

cess to this surgical area. We present the vesicoscopic technique for bladder neck plasty on the

anterior bladder wall.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

A 14 years-old patient with neurologic sphincter incontinence and previously failed of endoscopic

surgery was operated on. The surgery is done with the patient placed in the lithotomy position.

During cystoscopy, two 3-mm ports and one 5-mm port are inserted into the bladder under direct

transurethral vision. The bladder is insuf ated with CO2. A 12 Fr catheter is placed in the urethra

and percutaneously fixed to the anterior abdominal wall. A U-shaped incision is made around the

bladder neck with a monopolar cautery. The strip is tubularized with full-tickness suture and there-

fore the intravesical part of the urethra was enlonged approximately 2 cm.

RESULTS

Operation time was 151 minutes and postoperative hospital stay was 2 days. The intravesical

suprapubic drain was removed the 2

nd

postoperative day and the urethral catheter was removed

on 15

th

postoperative day. Transurethral clean intermittent catheterization was restarted without

complications. Patients are dry after 6 months.

CONCLUSIONS

Vesicoscopic bladder neck plasty is a relatively minor surgery with excellent cosmetic outcome and

quick recovery. More patients and more extensive follow-up is necessary for validation.
