Anterior transposition of urethra.
The case reports of 3 patients who underwent anterior transposition of the urethra are presented.

We join those who recommend this operation in the thin female patient who has a neurogenic bladder with constant leakage around the indwelling urethral catheter despite use of larger size tubes.
