PURPOSE To report the surgical details and results of one-stage transperineal urethroplasty using dorsal buccal mucosal graft (BMG) in treatment of panurethral stricture. MATERIALS AND METHODS This cohort study was carried out on 17 men with pan-urethral stricture who underwent one-stage transperineal BMG urethroplasty. Failure was defined as a need to any intervention during the follow-up pe...

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of early urethral anastomosis (EUA) for traumatic posterior urethral injuries (TPUI) patients. Materials and methods: We retrospectively studied 73 patients in our hospital with traumatic posterior urethral injuries who underwent early urethral anastomosis or delayed urethroplasty (DU) between June 2011 and June 2015. Intraoperative and postoperative data on 26 p...

INTRODUCTION the management of anterior urethral stricture is controversial. A review article was written, which updates the current situation of the surgical treatment of anterior urethral stricture. MATERIALS AND METHODS the experience of the Hospital del Trabajador in Santiago de Chile regarding its different surgical approaches, as well as scientific literature on the topic, were reviewed...

Established beliefs concerning outcomes following anterior urethral reconstruction are changing, both with regards to the genital cosmetics and to the impact on sexual activity. Today, the aim of stricture repair is not only to reinstate urinary function but also to safeguard sexual activity and guarantee genital cosmesis. A thorough evaluation of anterior urethroplasty results should include t...

PURPOSE To present a novel modification of surgical technique to treat female urethral stricture (FUS) by a vaginal-sparing ventral buccal mucosal urethroplasty. Recurrent FUS represents an uncommon, though difficult clinical scenario to manage definitively. A variety of surgical techniques have been described to date, yet a lack of consensus on the optimal procedure persists. MATERIALS AND M...

INTRODUCTION We reviewed the long-term outcome of substitution urethroplasty with skin flaps for anterior urethral strictures, comparing 1-stage with 2-stage repairs. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 45 patients with urethral strictures, 2.5 cm or longer, had undergone skin flap urethroplasty. A 1-stage surgical operation had been done in 10 patients (Orandi and bilateral pedicle island of pe...

Substitution urethroplasty for the treatment of male stricture disease is often accompanied by subsequent tissue fibrosis and secondary stricture formation. Patients with pre-existing morbidities are often at increased risk of urethral stricture recurrence brought upon in-part by delayed vascularization accompanied by overactive inflammatory responses following surgery. Within the context of th...

Background. Urethral stricture is a frequent cause of lower urinary tract obstruction worldwide. The aim of this study is to present our experience with one-stage urethroplasty. Methods. All males that underwent one-stage urethroplasty between January 2001 and December 2010 were retrospectively reviewed. Details of their biodata, clinical presentation, diagnostic investigations, operative treat...

OBJECTIVES To report our experience with Mathieu urethroplasty for revision of hypospadias repairs. Mathieu perimeatal-based flap urethroplasty remains a popular technique more than seven decades after its description for single-stage hypospadias repair. The excellent results of primary distal hypospadias repair are well documented, but reports of the results using the technique as a salvage pr...
