EA 2.6 Adult Uro-Recto-Genital Reconstructive Surgery (Transition from WS1)

This Expertise Area (EA) relates to patients transitioning from paediatric care under Workstream 1: Rare congenital uro-recto-genital anomalies once they reach adulthood. Adult uro-recto-genital reconstructive surgery is a specialised surgical subspecialty that focuses on restoring function and normal anatomy to the urinary tract and reproductive system of adult patients who have congenital abnormalities, acquired conditions, or injuries that affect these systems. This type of surgery involves complex procedures to repair, reconstruct, or replace parts of the urinary and genital organs, including the kidneys, ureters, bladder, urethra, prostate, and genitalia. The goal of adult uro-recto-genital reconstructive surgery is to improve patients’ quality of life by addressing problems such as urinary incontinence, bladder dysfunction, urethral strictures, uro-recto-genital malformations, and sexual dysfunction.
