Abstract:
A thirty-eight-year-old man presented with acute urinary retention due to a long complicated strictures between the meatus and the bulbar urethra. During the first surgery, in addition to the penile skin flap, the flap of the incised skin at 10mm outside the scrotum strip-like tissue was moved medially and sutured onto the incised urethra. After 12 months of the first surgery, we performed the urethroplasty from the bulbar urethra to the meatus. Postoperatively, the patient voided without complications. Thus, this technique using a skin flap outside the scrotum is effective in long complicated urethral strictures.
