Area of Science:

Urology
Surgical Innovation

Background:

Urethral strictures, particularly of the bulbous urethra, present a significant clinical challenge.
Internal urethrotomy is a common treatment, but recurrence rates can be high.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the efficacy of primary split skin grafts following internal urethrotomy for bulbous urethral strictures.
To assess the safety and early outcomes of this reconstructive technique.

Main Methods:

Eleven patients with bulbous urethral strictures underwent internal urethrotomy.
Primary split skin grafts were inlaid over the urethrotomy site in all patients.

Main Results:

No operative complications were reported during or immediately after the procedures.

Related Experiment Videos

A 9-month follow-up in 5 patients demonstrated good outcomes, indicating successful graft integration and urethral patency.

Conclusions:

Primary split skin grafting following internal urethrotomy appears to be a safe and effective method for managing bulbous urethral strictures.
This approach shows potential for improved long-term results in reconstructive urology.
