BACKGROUND Urethral stricture disease is prevalent, and many surgical techniques have been developed to treat it. Currently, urethroplasty for bulbar strictures implies ventral or dorsal stricturotomy and a buccal mucosa graft (BMG) patch. OBJECTIVE To describe the surgical approach of the ventral patch BMG urethroplasty for proximal bulbar urethral stricture and to analyze 11 consecutive cas...

BACKGROUND Urethral stricture disease is a challenging condition to treat and several approaches including direct visual internal urethrotomy (DVIU) and anastomotic or augmentation urethroplasties based on the use of flaps and graft have been reported. The aim of this study is to determine risk factors for stricture recurrence and complications in patients having buccal mucosal graft (BMG) uret...

conclusions early primary realignment of posterior urethral disruption had significant complications. in this study we did not have a control group, thus we could not compare the complications of delayed repair and early primary realignment of the posterior urethra. we recommend further case-control studies with larger sample size. results a total of 24 patients were evaluated while seven, elev...

Aim: To compare the outcome of urethral stricture managed by different surgical techniques. Place and Duration: This Study was conducted at Lahore General Hospital, in duration from May, 2022 to October, 2022. Methods: randomized controlled trial on 60 patients divided equally two groups. Both groups were assessed for maximum urinary flow 6 months after surgery, cause stricture, site success ra...

Aim: In this study, our aim was to compare the effectiveness of combined intraurethral lidocaine and intravenous sedoanalgesia with alone in patients undergoing optical internal urethrotomy(OIU) for primary anterior urethral strictures. 
 Materials methods: A total 76 who underwent OIU stricture 2-3 cm long were analysed. Patients divided into two groups. There 36 group 1 received only gel...

Biliary strictures are challenging situations in post liver-transplant patients, occurring in up to 15% after deceased orthotropic liver transplant (OLT) and 32% after living donor liver transplant [1]. Endoscopic treatment is established as firstline therapy for these patients, more recently using fully covered self-expandable metallic stents (FCSEMS) [2]. A 62-year-old man, who had received a...

Posterior urethral stricture or pelvic fracture urethral distraction defect (PFUDD) is relatively uncommon in children. Trauma and iatrogenic injury are the most common causes of stricture occurrence. Given the specificity of children’s urethra, treating their posterior urethral stricture is difficult, specifically for the children with long segment urethral stricture. We report a successful pe...

Treatment of esophageal stricture is important because esophageal stricture reduces the quality of life of patients by increasing their risks of dysphagia, weight loss, nutritional imbalance, and pneumonia due to aspiration. Esophageal stricture is mainly classified as benign or malignant esophageal stricture, and may occur as fibrous production and collagen deposition due to chronic ulceration...

BACKGROUND The management of urethral stricture is a challenge to both the urologists and the patients. Thoughtful and satisfactory preoperative evaluation remains important to achieving good outcome. Retrograde urethrography and Micturating Cystourethrography (RUG/MCUG) have been the gold standard imaging technique in the evaluation of anterior urethral stricture but are not without inherent l...
