Most are iatrogenic, occurring after surgery such as radical prostatectomy, where their prevalence ranges from 0.03 in various series. RUF can also occur after radiation therapy administered for prostate cancer. Management of RUF is complex and depends on whether the patient has had previous radiation therapy or not. Different surgical techniques have been evaluated, but currently there is no consensus as to the best approach. The York-Mason technique is preferred for simple RUF in patients without prior irradiation, while for more complex cases, with antecedent irradiation, transperineal approaches with muscular flap interposition are often recommended. Evaluation of quality of life is crucial, because management of RUF can have severe consequences on urinary continence and sexual function. Despite successful anatomical repair, patients often continue to suffer from functional sequalae that affect their quality of life. Although progress has been achieved in the treatment of RUF, a coherent and efficient management algorithm is necessary to standardize the practical aspects and improve the outcomes.
