Review on Organ Preserving Techniques in Patients with Urethral Carcinoma AUN - Iris Publishers

Tumors of the urethra are rare and often require radical surgery when dealing with locally advanced tumors to achieve adequate local  control  of  the  disease.  In  males,  these  procedures  include  partial  or  total  penectomy  for  distal  urethral  carcinoma  or  total  penectomy with cyst prostatectomy for proximal urethral carcinoma. In females with locally advanced urethral carcinoma, anterior exenteration may be required for better oncological outcomes. Patients diagnosed with urethral carcinoma at earlier stage may be amenable for genital sparing surgery which offers preservation of body image and better quality of life. We sought to review the current  available  literature  describing  different  techniques  of  surgical  management  in  patients  with  primary  urethral  carcinoma  and subsequent survival and oncological outcomes.
