The patient reached partial urinary continencia with periods of 30-40 dry minutes three months after the reconstruction surgery. The patient was under training of the perineal and pelvic musculature per indefinite time. She appeared at 22 years of age with total urinary continence with dry episodes of three to four hours and normal voluntary spontaneous micturition and with incapacity for sexual activity.
