OBJECTIVE We propose a modification to urethroplasty for stricture due to lichen sclerosus (balanitis xerotica obliterans). METHODS We combine two-stage bucal mucosa graft and onlay ventral island flap. RESULTADOS/CONCLUSIONES: This technique offers enlargement of the graft with the island flap and removal of the pathological skin.

Primary urethral calculus is rarely seen and is usually encountered in men with urethral stricture or diverticulum. We present a case of giant urethral calculus secondary to a urethral stricture in a man. The patient was treated with calculus extraction with end to end urethroplasty.

The evolution of hypospadias surgery can be classified under 3 periods that were closely related to advances in surgical instruments, introduction of anesthesia, and newer suture materials. Stretching dominated the early period, tunneling during the Middle Ages, and flaps during the modern period. Suture materials have included at various time silver wires, horsehair, and stainless steel. Exami...

OBJECTIVE To prospectively evaluate the feasibility and initial results of an everted saphenous vein graft (eSVG) as a dorsolateral onlay, in patients with long anterior urethral strictures and/or chronic tobacco users. PATIENTS AND METHODS In all, 20 patients with long anterior urethral strictures (>7 cm) and/or chronic tobacco exposed oral mucosa were included in the study. The harvested SV...

BACKGROUND The treatment of urethral stricture disease has remained a challenge over the years. The outcome has also been varied, with recurrent stricture being a major concern. We determined the outcome of urethroplasty with particular reference to the complications. METHODOLOGY This was a retrospective study over 10 years (1995 to 2005) done at the Jos University Teaching Hospital, a tertia...

Urethral prolapse is a rare condition in dogs and cats. A 7-month-old male cat presented with intermittent penile bleeding and a red mass protruding from the tip of the penis. Urethral prolapse was diagnosed by using a surgical microcamera to examine the genital area. Urethroplasty and preputial advancement surgery were performed using a surgical microscope, to successfully correct the urethral...

Posterior urethral injury is a clinically significant complication of pelvic fractures. The management is complicated by the associated organ injuries, distortion of the pelvic anatomy and the ensuing fibrosis that occurs with urethral injury. We report a review of the outcomes after posterior urethroplasty in the context of pelvic fracture urethral injury.
