Long-term followup of anterior urethral transposition in female patients with neurogenic bladder.
Between 1961 and 1976, 13 carefully selected female patients with neurogenic bladders and incontinence refractory to other conservative therapy (9 patients) or deteriorating upper urinary tracts (4 patients) underwent anterior urethral transposition. Followup averaging 6 years revealed minimal stomal problems and excellent preservation of renal function. The surgical technique with modifications is presented.
