Reconstructive Urology is a specialised field in urology that focuses on restoring both the structure and functions of the genitourinary tract. Conditions that can necessitate reconstructive surgery are prostate procedures; trauma, such as industrial accidents; straddle injuries; urethral strictures; and sometimes, complicated childbirth involving tear in the tissue.
Surgeons should have extensive expertise in performing complex reconstructive surgery on the kidney, ureter, bladder, urethra, and male genitals. Common reconstructive surgery procedures include:
Urethral disruption injuries caused by a fractured pelvis
Recto-urinary fistulas following prostatectomy or pelvic surgery or after radiation therapy
Refractory male urethral strictures
Major bladder reconstruction
Major ureter reconstruction
Vesicovaginal or ureterovaginal fistulas after pelvic surgery
Male urinary incontinence
Peyronie’s disease
