Bulbar urethral necrosis: current concept and novel comprehensive classification
Bulbar urethral necrosis is defined by the absence of a segment of bulbar urethra, typically resulting from previous PFUI repairs. Its pathophysiology is primarily vascular. The most common BUN was Type 3, indicating complete loss of the bulbar urethra. The clinical importance of the proposed radiological classification relies on the prediction of the level of difficulty for substitution urethroplasty.
