A simple substitute for a missing segment of the proximal anterior urethra.
We describe 2 patients with an absent segment of the bulbomembranous urethra, in 1 of whom the defect extended from the triangular ligament to the scrotal area. A simple method to restore continuity is presented, which is applicable to a wide variety of conditions resulting in the absence of a long segment of the bulbomembranous urethra.
