title: [Urethroplasty using polyglactin mesh in urethral fistula caused by decubitus ulcer of the perineum in spinal cord injuries. Apropos of 7 cases].
abstract: Seven paraplegic patients, presenting with urethro-cutaneous fistulae due to a loss 4 to 10 cm of urethral tissue, due to decubitus ulcer of the anterior perineum, were cured. Urethroplasty was performed by wrapping the urinary catheter in a resorbable polyglactin net, covered on top by a flap of a well vascularized musculocutaneous biceps femoralis flap. The follow-up of several years proved the reliability of this technique which can be perfectly applied to others kinds of urethroplasty.
