Abstract | Pubic bone osteomyelitis is a rare infection, mostly related to urinary fistula. The published data about the medical or surgical management of this type of infection is relatively poor. In this case study of three patients, we describe our surgical technique for the management of urosymphyseal fistula complicated with pubic bone infection using pelvic filling flap by unilateral pedicled myocutaneous vertical rectus abdominus muscle flap. The first patient had the pelvic space filled with omentum flap. Unfortunately, the patient presented, postoperatively, an enteric fistula resulting from intestine incarceration on the resected bone. Considering this failure, the next two cases, have benefited from a Taylor flap to protect the peritoneal cavity by covering the residual pubic bone. Early complications were pyelonephritis and anemia (Clavien-Dindo 2), but no repeat surgery was required afterwards. The hospital stay for both cases were 26- and 12-days contrary to the first case who was hospitalized for 180-days. In conclusion, despite our limited experience in managing complicated urosymphyseal fistula, Taylor's flap, mainly used for gynecological or rectal surgery, might be a good reproducible solution for the surgical management of this kind of fistula with pubic debridement. It allows to protect the peritoneal cavity with fewer postoperative complications. |
