However, the reported cases were managed with open surgery. We present a case of complete loss of urethra managed using three-dimensional laparoscopy. The patient had a recent history of vaginal hysterectomy complicated by post-operative retention. Multiple urethral dilatations were performed which ultimately stopped working and the patient presented to us in a state of chronic retention. Multiple investigations including an examination under anaesthesia, micturating cystourethrogram, and surgical trans-vaginal exploration confirmed the absence of a meaningful urethra, and the patient was planned for a neourethral reconstruction. This was performed using three-dimensional laparoscopy. The neourethra was created using an anterior bladder flap. At 12\u00a0months follow-up, the patient has normal continence and voids to completion. Laparoscopic urethral reconstruction can yield good functional results and offers the known benefits of minimally invasive surgery.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jscr\/rjag570","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,10]],"date-time":"2026-07-10T04:17:42Z","timestamp":1783657062000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["3D
