Recurrent urethrocele is not often successfully treated surgically because, as it is well known, pre-operative sterilization of the urethrocele is difficult, especially when it is very large. Furthermore the incomplete excision of the corpus callosum, because of the loss of urethral tissue this involves, often leads to post-operative fistulas and stenoses. This is why, very often, there are relapses no matter what technique is adopted. In 1978 both Juraschek and ourselves published a technique, derived from Monseur, in which the urethrocele and the corpus callosum were completely excised. The resulting loss of urethral tissue was remedied with the albuginea from the ventral surfaces of the corpora cavernosa after a 180 degrees rotation of the urethra. The results of this treatment in 41 cases of recurrent urethrocele are given in this paper. The follow-up period for the patients was from 15 to 2 years. Results have been excellent with very few complications (2 post-operative fistulas and 2 urethra stenoses). There have been no relapses.
