urethral fistula

It is also very useful in cases of urethral fistula.

Anal, rectal, or urethral fistulas in anogenital hidradenitis suppurativa.

This inevitably leads to frequent and occasionally severe complications (haemorrhage, infection, amputations of the glans, urethral fistula, and disastrous cosmetic results).

In a minority of patients with severe hypospadias surgery produces unsatisfactory results, such as scarring, curvature, or formation of urethral fistulas, diverticula, or strictures.

Some complications include autonomic dysreflexia, bladder distension, osteomyelitis, pyarthroses, sepsis, amyloidosis, anemia, urethral fistula, gangrene and very rarely malignant transformation (Marjolin's ulcer - secondary carcinomas in chronic wounds).

Additional surgeries may be required to correct postsurgical complications such as stenosis of the anastomosis between the native urethra and the graft, urethral fistulas, and posterior displacement of the balanic meatus.
