Abstract:
We present an outline of the surgical technique for harvesting free buccal mucosal grafts for urethroplasty in 23 patients and an assessment of morbidity at the donor site. Any problems were recorded, particularly injury to the lingual and mental nerves, symptoms of obstruction of the parotid duct, and trismus. There were four early (less than 6 weeks) complaints of mild trismus and one late complaint. All the grafts were successful.
