Abstract
Conclusions The risk of position related complications during urethral reconstruction is directly proportional to the duration of high lithotomy positioning. Procedures of less than 5 hours in duration had minimal risk. For complex flap procedures, we perform penile flap dissection with the patient supine and reposition for perineal flap transfer.Keywords
