WHO THIS PROCEDURE IS INTENDED FOR
It may happen that the mucosa of the urinary canal (urethra) is not confined within the canal, but tends to unfold outwards. This is called a urethral prolapse. The area thus exposed is usually hypersensitive and prone to irritation even outside of any urinary tract infection.
GOAL
It is necessary to suppress the extruded mucous area for the benefit of the vulvar zone.
THE PROCEDURE
Resection of the mucous area which forms a small protuberence emerging from the urethral canal and the mucous membrane of the vulva.
TYPE OF ANESTHESIA
Locally preferred.
HEALING PROCESS
Some burns during the first urination and an apprehension to urinate at the beginning. One-day or outpatient hospitalization.
POSSIBLE COMPLICATIONS
Wound dehiscence and urinary tract infection may warrant specific preventive treatment.
