Abstract
Difficulty with urethrovesical neck anastomosis after radical retropubic prostatectomy led to surgical formation of an anterior bladder tube flap for anastomosis to the transected urethra in 5 selected cases. Combining the anterior bladder flap technique with radical retropubic prostatectomy facilitates the urethrovesical neck anastomosis and improves the transient postoperative incontinence sometimes encountered. Results of the 5 patients in whom this technique was used form the basis for a brief discussion of the technique.Keywords
