Esophageal Strictures-II: Clinical Features and Management

18
Patients with esophageal strictures often experience a range of symptoms. Initially, they may have difficulty swallowing solid foods, which can progress to include liquids. Additional symptoms may involve chest pain or discomfort, regurgitating food and fluids, heartburn, unintentional weight loss, coughing or choking during meals, and hoarseness.
Healthcare providers should gather a comprehensive medical history and conduct a physical examination for diagnosis. If esophageal stricture is...

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Female urethral strictures are uncommon, often presenting with obstructive lower urinary tract symptoms.
  • Previous treatments like urethral dilatations have limited long-term efficacy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the demographics, surgical techniques, and outcomes of buccal mucosal graft substitution urethroplasty in female patients.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of different urethroplasty techniques for female urethral strictures.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of a prospectively managed database from December 2016 to June 2023.
  • International multi-institutional study involving a high-volume tertiary referral center and a regional center.
  • Analysis of dorsal onlay, ventral inlay, and double-face urethroplasty techniques in 42 female patients.

Main Results:

  • Overall success rate of 88% for female urethroplasty.
  • Dorsal onlay technique achieved 100% success, ventral inlay 71%, and double-face 88%.
  • Significant improvement in Qmax (291%) at 6 months; all patients remained continent.

Conclusions:

  • Urethroplasty using buccal mucosal grafts is an effective long-term treatment for female urethral strictures.
  • Dorsal onlay urethroplasty demonstrates superior success rates and versatility for strictures from distal to proximal.
  • Surgical technique selection should be individualized based on stricture characteristics, patient factors, and surgeon experience.
