PURPOSE We retrospectively reviewed patterns of failure after bulbar substitution urethroplasty. In particular we investigated the prevalence and location of anastomotic fibrous ring strictures occurring at the apical anastomoses between the graft and urethral plate after 3 types of onlay graft techniques. MATERIALS AND METHODS We reviewed the records of 107 patients who underwent bulbar uret...

Background The use of the Buccal Fat Pad (BFP) as a pedicled graft in the closure of intra-oral defects after oncological resections has gained in popularity, it is probably due to the ease of access, the rich blood supply and the low morbidity. The purpose of this study is to show our clinical experience and the results related to the use of the BFP in the repair selective malignant lesions of...

Abstract Background The management of short anterior urethral stricture is challenging. Our study aims to evaluate the outcome augmented anastomotic urethroplasty (AAU) for men with ultra-short penile stricture, and compare it dorsal onlay buccal mucosa graft. Methods Databases two tertiary referral centres were retrospectively reviewed retrieve data who underwent from 2013 2020. Patients AAU v...

The use of buccal mucosa graft urethroplasty (BMGU) for bulbar urethral strictures has gained widespread popularity since the first report in 1996. Over the last two decades, there have been many modifications in the surgical technique. This, along with better understanding of urethral anatomy, has allowed the BMG to become the 'gold standard' in urethral substitution. The present article revie...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Primary reconstruction by endoscopic buccal mucosal grafting can be considered in cancer patients with large defects and in patients with bilateral disease. We present our case series of primary endoscopic buccal grafting after cancer surgery. STUDY DESIGN Seventeen cases in 16 patients treated with buccal primary reconstruction (PR) are compared to 26 subjects without r...
