Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Meshgraft urethroplasty is a standard treatment for urethral strictures.
  • The original technique utilized foreskin grafts, limiting application in circumcised patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To adapt meshgraft urethroplasty for circumcised patients using split-thickness skin grafts.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of this modified technique for long and complicated urethral strictures.

Main Methods:

  • A two-stage procedure involving split-thickness skin graft harvested from the thigh.
  • Graft transplantation alongside the opened urethra in the first stage.
  • Neo-urethra formation in the second stage, 12 weeks later.

Main Results:

  • Performed in 34 patients since 1980 with excellent anatomic and functional results.
  • Highly effective for exceedingly long or problematic strictures.
  • Successful application in spinal cord-injured patients with complex strictures.

Conclusions:

  • Split-thickness skin graft meshgraft urethroplasty is a reliable method for urethral reconstruction.
  • The technique offers a viable solution for circumcised patients and complex stricture cases.
  • Achieves excellent outcomes in challenging urethral stricture repairs.
