Purpose: Surgical reconstruction for posterior urethral injuries associated with pelvic fractures (PFUI) is complex. Perineal posterior urethroplasty via excision and primary anastomosis (EPA) is the standard treatment. This study evaluates risk factors for stenosis recurrence after primary EPA and analyzes predictors of postoperative complications. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on male patients who underwent primary posterior EPA for PFUI at Ghent University Hospital (2001–2024). The primary outcome was stenosis recurrence at 1-, 2-, and 10-year follow-up, defined as urethral narrowing causing obstructive symptoms and requiring intervention. Demographic data, prior urethral manipulation, surgical techniques, 90-day complications (Clavien-Dindo), and functional outcomes were analyzed. Univariate and multivariate coxregression analyses were performed using IBM SPSS Statistics v. 29.0.2.0. Results: Among 70 patients, 75.5% underwent transecting EPA. After a median follow-up of 130 months (IQR 78.5-178.5), stenosis recurrence occurred in 15.8% at a median of 3 months (IQR 2.0–5.0). The 1-, 2-, and 10-year recurrence-free survival rates were 85.4%, 83.8%, and 83.8%, respectively. In multivariate analysis, postoperative complications (HR = 4.85, p = 0.007) and persistent extravasation (HR = 6.36, p = 0.006) significantly increased recurrence risk. Postoperative complications (21.4%) were all low-grade and managed conservatively. Erectile function was impaired in 97.9% due to trauma, with 12.2% improving postoperatively. De novo urinary incontinence occurred in 6.6%. Conclusions: Posterior urethroplasty demonstrates a high long-term success rate in patients with PFUI. Postoperative complications and persistent urinary leakage significantly increase the risk of surgical failure, highlighting the need for rigorous follow-up. The non-transecting technique, when possible, does not negatively impact outcomes.

Adult Acquired Buried Penis (AABP) is a morbid condition that often requires surgical intervention. This retrospective study of 46 patients who underwent AABP surgery from November 2017 to July 2023 evaluates surgical outcomes, functional outcomes, and patient-reported outcomes. The median follow-up (FU) was 46 months. Patients were categorized by surgical complexity using the Pariser classification, with 76.1% undergoing high-complexity procedures (Pariser ≥ III). Common comorbidities included obesity (58.7%), prior circumcision (52.2%), and hypertension (52.2%). The low-complexity group had a shorter hospital stay (p = 0.02). No other significant differences were noted between groups in terms of Body Mass Index, operative time, or FU. Sexual dysfunction (45.7%) and urinary issues (38.1%) were the main reasons for surgical consultation. Skin grafting was required in 63.0% of patients; partial graft loss was more common in full thicknes skin graft group (p = 0.04). Postoperative complications occurred in 32.6% of patients, 13.3% of which were classified severe (Clavien ≥ III). The median increase in stretched penile length was 2 cm. The recurrence rate was 21.7%. The 12-month recurrence-free survival rate was 89.1%. All groups saw significant improvements in urinary and sexual function post-surgery (p < 0.05), and high patient satisfaction was reported (90.3%). Despite the complication rate, AABP surgery significantly improves quality of life, with ongoing advancements in technique anticipated to enhance outcomes further.
