PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a new approach to repair the giant prostatic utricle (pseudovagina) associated with @entity4094 . METHODS: Three @entity1 with giant prostatic utricle associated with @entity4094 sought medical advice in our department from 1998 to 2003. The giant prostatic utricles were repaired using the novel approach of divesting of utricular mucosa followed by muscular tunnel obliteration through the opening of the pseudovagina in the dorsal lithotomy position. RESULTS: Follow-up ranges from 3 to 8 years. The divesting of the prostatic utricle mucosa was successful, and the @entity3986 was closed completely in all 3 @entity1 . One @entity1 underwent urethroplasty and another repair of urethrocutaneous fistula at the same setting. The third @entity1 underwent a second-stage urethroplasty separately. On follow-up, both the urethral reconstruction and the @entity14183 remained successful in all the @entity1 . CONCLUSIONS: The technique of the divesting of the prostatic utricle mucosa and closure of the muscular wall is an effective alternative approach for repairing giant prostatic utricles. It is safe and simple. The surgical exposure is very good.
