Can The Urethra Be Replaced By Surgery?

My wife has a bladder problem for which she has had 3-4 surgeries. One was injection of Durasphere which has settled at the base of the urethra against the intestine causing intense pain. Curious whether there is a procedure to replace the urethra with a tube containing a valve to open/close flow of urine.
