    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    This study presents a new surgical technique for repairing urethral strictures in the fossa navicularis and distal pendulous regions. The method uses penile skin flaps to create a directable urinary stream with excellent cosmetic outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Surgical Techniques
    • Reconstructive Surgery

    Background:

    • Urethral strictures, particularly in the fossa navicularis and distal pendulous regions, pose significant challenges in treatment.
    • Existing surgical methods may have limitations in achieving optimal urinary stream direction and cosmetic results.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe and evaluate a novel surgical technique for the repair of fossa navicularis and distal pendulous urethral strictures.
    • To assess the efficacy of this technique in restoring a directable urinary stream and achieving favorable cosmetic outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • A ventral flap of penile skin is elevated and inverted.
    • The flap is interposed into a distal urethrotomy.
    • Epithelial strips from the penile skin and glans penis are sutured face-to-face.

    Main Results:

    • The technique facilitates a directable urinary stream.
    • Cosmetically fine results were achieved.
    • A personal series of 7 patients demonstrated uniformly good outcomes.

    Conclusions:

    • This innovative surgical approach offers a promising solution for complex urethral strictures.
    • The technique provides both functional and aesthetic benefits for patients.
    • Further studies may validate these findings in larger patient cohorts.
