Abstract:
:Surgical treatment of long urethral stricture disease remains one of the most challenging problems in urology. In recent years there has been continuous discussion with regard to the etiology, location, length, and management of extensive urethral stricture disease. Various tissues such as genital and extragenital skin, buccal mucosa, lingual mucosa, small intestinal submucosa, and bladder mucosa have been proposed for urethral reconstruction. The most frequent questions pertain to the optimal technique for urethroplasty and the optimal graft for substitution urethroplasty, as judged by both patient satisfaction and outcome success. We review the recent literature with respect to any new information on graft urethroplasty for extensive urethral stricture.
