Abstract: Female acquired urinary incontinence is a clinical challenge. This article reported a female patient who had urinary incontinence after excessive urethral caruncle resection. Urodynamics showed effective urethral length was 1.6 cm and maximal urethral pressure was 41 cm cmH 2O(1 cmH 2O=0.133 kPa). Urethroscopy showed urethral length was about 2 cm, urethral sphincter function was good, and urethral stricture was absent. The patient has undergone robot-assisted modified Leadbetter bladder neck reconstruction. The surgery was successfully completed without intraoperative complications. Urinary catheter was removed at 4 weeks after surgery, and the patient has complete urinary continence with unobstructed voiding. After 3 months of follow-up, the patient still has unobstructed voiding and urinary continence.
