Buccal Mucosa Proves Efficacious For The Treatment Of Strictures Of The Female Urethra
Monday, 26 June 2006
BERKELEY, CA (UroToday.com) - As uncommon as the female urethral stricture is for the general urologist, they present a challenge for the reconstructive urologist. Many of these patients present with a history of having undergone multiple prior dilations and/or endoscopic urethrotomies, and the ideal durable repair necessitates the use of an interposition graft or flap. Several methods of repair have been reported including the use of anterior vaginal wall flaps, labia minora flaps, vaginal vestibule flaps, and porcine acellular matrix. These techniques are less successful in the setting of inadequate or unhealthy vaginal wall tissue.

The salvage procedure described by Mulcahy has changed the way that infected prostheses are handled but the procedure cannot always be performed. When penile prosthesis implantation is attempted after previous explantation of an infected device, cylinder implantation is often very difficult due to significant intracorporeal fibrosis. This clinical situation is also often found in erectile dysfunction after priapism.
