Key Points

  • To explore the efficacy of Mitrofanoff appendicovesicostomy with Boari flap in female urethral transection due to trauma.
  • Case presentation of a woman with pelvic fracture and urethral transection
  • Surgical intervention included suprapubic cystostomy and vaginal reconstruction
  • Mitrofanoff appendicovesicostomy performed with Boari flap in a staged approach
  • Urodynamic evaluation conducted pre- and postoperatively
  • Successful creation of a Mitrofanoff appendicovesicostomy with Boari flap
  • Postoperative urodynamic evaluation showed increased bladder compliance
  • Achieved stable clean intermittent catheterization without complications
  • Pharmacological management still required for bladder function stabilization

Abstract

ABSTRACT Introduction Female urethral complete transection caused by pelvic trauma is extremely rare, and no standard management has been established when urethral reconstruction is not feasible. Case Presentation A woman in her twenties sustained an open pelvic fracture with perineal injury due to a traffic accident. Complete urethral transection was identified, and a suprapubic cystostomy was placed. After staged vaginal reconstruction and bladder function evaluation, a Mitrofanoff appendicovesicostomy was performed. Because the appendix was not enough to reach the umbilicus, a Boari flap was created to compensate for the length. Urodynamic evaluation showed improvement from a preoperative high‐pressure bladder to increased compliance postoperatively, though pharmacological management was still required. Postoperatively, the patient achieved stable clean intermittent catheterization without complications. Conclusion The Mitrofanoff procedure can be an effective option in female urethral injuries where reconstruction is impossible. The addition of a Boari flap may expand its applicability by overcoming conduit length limitations.
