Abstract

Repair of recurrent urethrocutaneous fistula with a tunica vaginalis flap is highly effective regardless of fistula location. This flap is easy to mobilize and provide effective coverage of urethral suture line. Putting a glove drain should be considered into scrotal wound if perfect haemostasis is doubtful.
