Buccal mucosal graft urethroplasty

摘要: At our institution, the majority of buccal mucosal graft urethroplasties are performed using a two‐team approach with an otolaryngologic surgeon. We report our two‐surgeon experience with buccal mucosal grafting for reconstruction of all anterior urethral strictures. Twenty‐four men underwent autologous buccal mucosal graft urethroplasty between October 2001 and September 2008 for recurrent urethral stricture disease.

Medical charts were retrospectively reviewed for demographics, comorbidities, etiology, location and length of stricture, and prior interventions in order to identify predictors of buccal urethroplasty success, defined as no evidence of stricture recurrence.
