Urethral stricture repair, irrespective of the underlying etiology, has been a challenge for urologic surgeons for decades. However, surgical techniques are continually evolving and the overall success rates keep improving. Focusing on bulbar urethroplasty, the most common causes in the industrialized countries are external trauma and prior instrumentation. Short bulbar urethral strictures meas...

PURPOSE We describe the complications of complete repair and their management. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 19 patients were referred after failed complete repair. Total dehiscence occurred in 6 males, major bladder prolapse in 3, minor prolapse in 3, pubic separation in 1, impassable stricture in 1, and total hemiglans and corporal loss in 2. Overall, partial glans loss was seen in 7 pat...

PURPOSE Artificial grafts have been investigated for use in the repair of oral mucosal defects. The aim of this retrospective study was to present the outcomes of the use of acellular dermal matrix (ADM) grafts to repair oral mucosal defects. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data from 36 patients with oral mucosal defects reconstructed with ADM grafts from 2003 through 2009 were reviewed. All patients w...

Introduction: Plaque incision and grafting represent the best surgical approach to Peyronie’s Disease (PD). The procedures must be restricted patients with normal preoperative status, excessive curvature and/or deformities. However, ideal graft has not been identified yet. Buccal mucosa grafts (BMG) provided excellent short-term results, ensuring fast return of spontaneous erections preventing ...

Background . Urethral strictures are currently one of the most complex pathologies in reconstructive urology. The promising direction this area is development single-stage surgical interventions that meets modern requirements for quality life patients. aim study To evaluate possibility and effectiveness treatment extended recurrent tuberculous urethral men using a combination skin flap buccal g...

PURPOSE The healing process following tooth extraction apparently results in a pronounced resorption of the alveolar ridge. As a result, the width of alveolar ridge is reduced and severe alveolar bone resorption occurs. The purpose of this experiment is to clinically and histologically evaluate the results of using horse-derived bone mineral for socket preservation. METHODS The study comprise...

Abstract Introduction Buccal mucosal grafts (BGM) are widely used in male urethral reconstruction and have more recently been reported for female reconstruction. We report the first case of using a buccal mucosa graft (BMG) to cover excised 12:00 vestibule 19 year old woman with lifelong persistent genital arousal disorder (PGAD) presumed secondary congenital neuro-proliferative vestibulodynia....
