Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Context:

  • Complicated urethral strictures pose significant challenges in patient treatment.
  • Traditional surgical methods may have limitations for extensive or complex strictures.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of a two-stage surgical technique using free-foreskin grafts or split-thickness skin grafts for neourethra construction in patients with complicated urethral strictures.

Summary:

  • A total of 124 patients with complicated urethral strictures underwent a two-stage procedure utilizing free-foreskin grafts or split-thickness skin grafts to create a neourethra.
  • The study reports excellent functional and anatomical outcomes in 115 patients (92.7% success rate).
  • This reconstructive technique proved effective even for exceptionally long or problematic strictures, including those in patients with spinal cord injuries.
