Abstract
During cloacal reconstruction, we consider both common channel (CC) and urethral length when deciding between total urogenital mobilization (TUM) and a urogenital separation (UGS). Our concern about TUM in the case of a short urethra is resultant bladder neck incompetence, while conversion to UGS after completing the TUM dissection may result in urethral injury. Use of an interposition flap harvested from the ischiorectal fossa is another measure we use to prevent potential complications.
