Reconstruction of the urethra with a Surgisis® onlay patch in urethral reconstructive surgery: two case reports

INTRODUCTION We present two case reports of patients with recurrent stricture of the urethra. We used Surgisis((R)) for reconstruction. CASE PRESENTATION In these two case reports, we show the positive results of reconstructive surgery with Surgisis((R)) as an alternative surgical approach to common onlay patch surgery of the urethra performed on two Caucasian patients: a 48-year-old man and a 55-year-old man. CONCLUSION Compared to buccal mucosa flap or foreskin graft surgeries for urethral reconstruction, reconstructive surgery with Surgisis((R)) is considered a relevant therapeutic alternative because of the shorter operation time and the preventable surgery of the buccal cavity or foreskin.
