Bladder defect closure using a pure trans-urethral suturing technique can provide a quick and effective solution in situations where conventional management options are not feasible. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title><jats:p> Here we describe this innovative novel technique developed by our group that was used to treat two different cases with bladder perforation at two different institutions. We used a 5\u2009mm laparoscopic port with gas insufflation and a laparoscopic needle holder trans-urethrally to achieve defect closure with a monofilament 2\/0 monocryl mattress suture on a small 22\u2009mm needle. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title><jats:p> The defects were successfully closed without any intraoperative complications. Average operative time for the technique was 18\u2009min with minimal blood loss. Bladder closure was sustained at a median follow-up of 2\u2009years for one of these cases. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title><jats:p> We claim that transurethral bladder suturing is quick, safe in expert hands and provides an effective option where the clinical condition\/situation of the patient warrants a minimally invasive surgery approach. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/03915603211001168","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,16]],"date-time":"2021-03-16T09:22:37Z","timestamp":1615886557000},"page":"231-234","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Trans-urethral bladder suture in female patients: Not a tour de force but a quick and realistic answer to complex situations"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"89","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0440-2720","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fanourios","family":"Georgiades","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Urology Department, Ygia Polyclinic Hospital, Limassol, Cyprus"},{"name":"Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Cambridge, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chryssanthos","family":"Kouriefs","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Urology Department, Ygia Polyclinic Hospital, Limassol, Cyprus"},{"name":"St George\u2019s, University of London at the University of Nicosia, Nicosia, Cyprus"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jonathan","family":"Makanjuola","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Urology Department, Kings College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, London, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2884-5772","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Philippe","family":"Grange","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Urology Department, Kings College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, London, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-03915603211001168","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00464-017-5869-2"},{"key":"bibr2-03915603211001168","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-5347(01)64256-3"},{"key":"bibr3-03915603211001168","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s001920170054"},{"key":"bibr4-03915603211001168","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/bju.12688"},{"key":"bibr5-03915603211001168","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.eururo.2010.08.030"},{"key":"bibr6-03915603211001168","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.urology.2016.09.068"},{"key":"bibr7-03915603211001168","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.urology.2014.06.020"},{"key":"bibr8-03915603211001168","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.juro.2013.03.027"}],"container-title":["Urologia Journal"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/03915603211001168","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1177\/03915603211001168","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/03915603211001168","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,2]],"date-time":"2025-03-02T02:10:24Z","timestamp":1740881424000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/03915603211001168"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,16]]},"references-count":8,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2022,5]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/03915603211001168"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/03915603211001168","relation":{},"ISSN":["0391-5603","1724-6075"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"0391-5603"},{"type":"electronic","value":"1724-6075"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,16]]}}}
