Reconstructive Urology

Reconstructive Urology is a specialized branch of urological medicine that focuses on repairing or reconstructing the urinary tract and male reproductive organs. This field addresses a wide range of congenital, acquired, and traumatic conditions that affect the urinary and genital systems. Through innovative surgical techniques and advancements in medical technology, reconstructive urology has made significant strides in restoring normal function and improving the quality of life for patients facing complex urological challenges.

Conditions Treated by Reconstructive Urology Department

• Urethral Strictures: Urethral strictures are narrowed segments in the urethra, often resulting from inflammation, infection, or trauma. Reconstructive procedures aim to restore proper urethral diameter and urinary flow.
• Hypospadias: This congenital condition occurs when the opening of the urethra is located on the underside of the penis instead of at the tip. Reconstructive surgery corrects this anomaly, ensuring normal urination and sexual function.
• Genital and Urethral Trauma: Severe injuries to the genital or urinary tract, often resulting from accidents or trauma, require specialized reconstructive techniques to restore form and function.
• Neurogenic Bladder Dysfunction: Conditions affecting the nerves controlling the bladder, such as spinal cord injuries or neurological disorders, can lead to bladder dysfunction. Reconstructive procedures aim to restore normal bladder function and prevent complications.
• Fistulas: Urological fistulas are abnormal connections between the urinary tract and nearby organs or tissues. Reconstructive surgery is often required to close these abnormal openings.
• Vesicovaginal and Urethrovaginal Fistulas: These are specific types of fistulas that occur between the bladder or urethra and the vagina. Reconstructive procedures are used to close the fistula and restore normal urinary function.

Key Reconstructive Procedures:

• Urethroplasty: This surgical procedure involves the reconstruction or repair of the urethra to treat conditions like strictures or hypospadias. Various techniques, including tissue grafts and flaps, may be utilized.
• Genital Reconstruction: For conditions like hypospadias or genital trauma, surgical techniques are employed to reconstruct the genitalia, ensuring proper form and function.
• Bladder Augmentation: In cases of severe neurogenic bladder dysfunction or small bladder capacity, reconstructive surgery may involve increasing the size of the bladder using tissue grafts.
• Vaginal Fistula Repair: Surgical techniques are used to close abnormal connections between the urinary tract and the vagina, restoring normal urinary function.
• Artificial Urinary Sphincter (AUS) Implantation: This procedure involves the placement of an artificial sphincter to treat urinary incontinence, particularly in cases where the natural sphincter function is compromised.

Advantages of Reconstructive Urology:

• Restored Functionality: Reconstructive urology aims to restore normal urinary and reproductive function, allowing patients to regain control and quality of life.
• Improved Quality of Life: By addressing complex urological conditions, reconstructive urology can have a profound impact on a patient's overall well-being and self-esteem.
• Tailored Treatment Plans: Reconstructive procedures are highly personalized, taking into account the specific condition, patient's unique anatomy, and overall health.
• Multidisciplinary Approach: Reconstructive urology often involves collaboration with other medical specialties, such as plastic surgery, neurology, and gynecology, to ensure comprehensive care.
