Is the York Mason technique the preferred choice for repair of iatrogenic rectourethral fistula?

Rectourethral fistula (RUF) following radical prostatectomy is a rare and devastating complication. Surgical repair is the mainstay of treatment in most of the cases. We present three cases in which the Modified York Mason Technique was used for repairing the RUF. Among the surgical options, Modified York-Mason repair has proven itself to be a successful and reliable surgical option. The purpose of this case series is to remind urologists familiar with the perineal approach that the York Mason procedure is a relatively simple procedure with an uncomplicated postoperative period, a short hospital stay, and no long-term complications.

Abstract

Rectourethral fistula (RUF) following radical prostatectomy is a rare and devastating complication. Surgical repair is the mainstay of treatment in most of the cases. We present three cases in which the Modified York Mason Technique was used for repairing the RUF. Among the surgical options, Modified York-Mason repair has proven itself to be a successful and reliable surgical option. The purpose of this case series is to remind urologists familiar with the perineal approach that the York Mason procedure is a relatively simple procedure with an uncomplicated postoperative period, a short hospital stay, and no long-term complications.
