title: [Prolapse of neovagina after anterior pelvic exenteration for urethral cancer].
abstract: The authors report the case of a patient undergoing anterior pelvic exenteration for cancer of the urethra with sigmoid colon urinary diversion and vaginal reconstruction using a colonic segment. The postoperative course was marked by prolapse of the neovagina requiring reoperation via a transvaginal approach. The modalities of this prolapse repair are described and the various possibilities for urinary diversion and vaginal reconstruction after pelvic exenteration in women are then discussed.
