Figure 1 |
Midline perineal incision, deepened onto the bulbospongiosus muscle, which is reflected off the bulbar urethra and retracted out of the way |
Figure 2 |
The urethra is transsected through the side of obliteration, trimmed back to healthy tissue and spatulated, dorsally on one side and ventally on the other |
Figure 3 |
If the ventral midline between the corpora is incised, the reconstructed urethra can lie tension free within the inter-crural plane |
Figure 4 |
If not: opening of the intercrural plane as far distally as possible and managment of the deep dorsal vein |
Figure 5 |
Creation of a channel through the pubic bone with a double-action bone nibbler |
Figure 6 |
After mobilisation the crus of the penis and its neurovascular structures are retracted medially to expose the inferior pubic ramus |
Figure 7 |
Some more bone from above is gouged out to connect with the inferior pubectomy already created from below |
Figure 8 |
The urethra is passed through the bony channel for an anastomosis made with six 5/0 polyglactin sutures, placed and tied in the 'parachute' style |

Tying of the last urethral suture |
