  • Title: Delayed Presentation of Urethro-Cavernosal Fistula After Urotrauma.
    Author: Han J, Ghodoussipour S, Doumanian LR.
    Journal: Urology; 2019 Sep; 131():e7-e8. PubMed ID: 31132425.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To define clinical features and surgical management of urethro-cavernosal fistulas (UCF). METHODS: A literature search was performed using PubMed to identify publications with the key word urethro-cavernosal fistula. RESULTS: We herein describe surgical techniques and long-term outcomes for UCF repair. CONCLUSION: UCFs is a rare urological condition with only 9 cases reported to date. UCFs can be diagnosed with careful history, physical examination, and retrograde urethrography. Surgical management includes basic tenets of fistula repair, including adequate mobilization, tension-free but watertight approximation, multilayered closure with nonoverlapping suture lines, and maximal bladder drainage.
