title: Reconstruction of bladder neck-posterior urethral region in patients with complete epispadias.
abstract: Five male patients with epispadias and total urinary incontinence were managed in the present work. Urethral mucosal tube was performed by folding one lip of the bladder neck and urethral wall to encircle the mucosal tube snugly, and the other lip was used to overlap the first one at a distance of 3 cm length. This technique provided an effective functioning segment that maintained continence. Our results since we have adopted this technique were excellent in four cases.
