Pedicled preputial patch urethroplasty offers a simple and widely applicable solution for urethral strictures resistant to endoscopic surgery. This technique avoids complications linked to scrotal skin grafts, making it a recommended alternative.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Urethral strictures pose a significant clinical challenge, particularly when refractory to conventional endoscopic treatments.
  • Existing surgical options may involve complications, such as those associated with scrotal skin utilization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and applicability of pedicled preputial patch urethroplasty for treating urethral strictures.
  • To present an alternative surgical approach that mitigates risks associated with other graft materials.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of 48 patients with urethral strictures, unresponsive to prior endoscopic surgery, underwent pedicled preputial patch urethroplasty.
  • The surgical technique involves utilizing a pedicled flap of preputial tissue for urethral reconstruction.

Main Results:

  • The pedicled preputial patch urethroplasty procedure demonstrated simplicity in execution.
  • The technique was found to be almost universally applicable across the patient cohort.
  • This method effectively bypasses the complications inherent in using scrotal skin for urethroplasty.

Conclusions:

  • Pedicled preputial patch urethroplasty is a viable and effective treatment for complex urethral strictures.
  • The procedure's simplicity, broad applicability, and avoidance of scrotal skin issues support its wider adoption in reconstructive urology.
