Complex anterior urethral strictures can be effectively managed with one-stage urethroplasty, achieving a 100% success rate. This surgical approach is preferred over two-stage repairs for improved outcomes in urethral reconstruction.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Reconstruction
  • Genitourinary Tract Surgery

Background:

  • Management of complex anterior urethral strictures poses significant challenges, especially when less invasive methods fail.
  • Urethral strictures can result from various etiologies and may be associated with complications like fistula or diverticulum.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and compare the outcomes of one-stage urethroplasty versus two-stage Johanson urethroplasty for complex anterior urethral strictures.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of different flap techniques in one-stage urethroplasty for urethral reconstruction.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 16 cases treated with one-stage urethroplasty and 12 cases treated with two-stage Johanson urethroplasty.
  • One-stage repairs primarily utilized vascularized longitudinal ventral penile skin flaps; scrotal and preputial flaps were used in select cases.

  • Simultaneous one-stage anterior and posterior urethroplasty was performed in three cases with concomitant strictures.

    • Main Results:

    • One-stage urethroplasty achieved a 100% success rate in managing anterior urethral strictures.
    • Two-stage Johanson urethroplasty demonstrated a 75% success rate.
    • No specific flap type was highlighted as superior, but vascularized penile flaps were most common in successful one-stage repairs.

    Conclusions:

    • One-stage urethroplasty is a highly effective and preferred surgical option for complex anterior urethral strictures, regardless of stricture length or number.
    • The success rates support the adoption of one-stage repair as the primary surgical strategy for these challenging urethral conditions.
