Treatment of girls with urethral prolapse.
During the last 19 years 40 girls with urethral prolapse have been seen at our medical center. Treatment has ranged from nonoperative approaches to excision of the prolapsed urethra. A comparison of the treatment modalities indicates that patients undergoing early local excision of the prolapse have the lowest complication rate and shortest hospital stay.
