Female urethral reconstruction using a tubed rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap.

Abstract:

:We describe the novel use of a rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap for reconstruction of the female urethra following an oncological pelvic resection. Reconstruction of the female urethra from the bladder neck to external urethral orifice was successfully performed, avoiding the need for a urostomy. To our knowledge, the myocutaneous flap has never been described for complete urethral reconstruction.

  • Autologous denatured muscle as a nerve graft.

    abstract::This study examined the use of freeze-thawed muscle as a nerve graft material in Sprague-Dawley rats. In Group 1 (n = 4), the sciatic nerve was isolated and the incision immediately closed. In Group 2 (n = 4), a 5-mm segment of the nerve was removed and immediately replaced. In Group 3 (n = 50), a 5-mm segment of nerv...
