Surgical excision of urethral prolapse.

INTRODUCTION

Urethral prolapse is a rare condition that results in the eversion of the urethral mucosa through the distal urethra. Management is divided into two categories: conservative and surgical treatment.

METHODS

We present a case of urethral prolapse with severe symptoms that were minimally responsive to topical estrogen. Surgical excision was achieved with resection of the redundant urethral mucosa.

RESULTS

This video highlights surgical techniques that can be used for the excision of urethral prolapse.

CONCLUSIONS

The management of urethral prolapse should be individualized based on symptom severity, anatomical compromise, and surgical morbidity. Surgical management should be considered in cases of vascular compromise or failed medical management.
