title: [Comparative analysis of open and endoscopic operative procedures outcomes for posterior urethra obliteration in males].
abstract: Endoscopic recanalization of posterior urethra (PU) obliteration (a novel method) was compared to open reconstructive-plastic operations. 242 patients with PU and vesicular cervix obliterations entered the study. 93 patients of group 1 have undergone open reconstructive-plastic operations, 149 patients of group 2 were operated endoscopically (endoscopic recanalization under transrectal ultrasonic control). Before surgery the patients were examined using standard tests, sonourethrography and intraoperative transurethral ultrasonic investigation were added. Recurrence rate in group 1 and 2 was 29.1 and 16.8%, respectively. The following complications were observed in group 1: acute pyelonephritis (22.5%), enuresis (14%), orchoepididymitis (9.7%), urinary fistulas (5.4%). The patients needed long-term postoperative immobilization (10-16 days, mean 14.8 +/- 1.1 days). After endoscopic recanalization under transrectal ultrasonic control, group 2 patients developed acute pyelonephritis (4.8%), orchoepididymitis (4%), orthostatic enuresis (4%), short-term urethral fever (85.9%). Bed regime in this group was necessary for 1-2 days (1.3 +/- 0.4 days). Mean postoperative hospital stay was 2.5-fold less in group 2. The conclusion is made that endoscopic recanalization under transrectal ultrasonic control has advantages over open reconstructive-plastic surgery: less frequent pyoinflammatory complications, enuresis, the absence of such complications as impotence, short penis, formation of urinary fistulas.
