Abstract
The urogenital diaphragm raising maneuver, a procedure to facilitate membranous urethral surgery, is described. The techniuqe shortens operating time by permitting easy identification and exposure of the severed urethral ends, thus, allowing for precise re-establishment of urinary tract continuity. Selective membranous urethral surgery can be performed with ease, preserving external sphincter integrity. This maneurver represents an advance over any other technique by almost elimintaing the risk of stenosis, urinary fistula and incontinence owing to failure of precise reapproximation of the membranous urethra.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
