Urethral Reconstruction Articles

The treatment of gender dysphoria related to genitourinary anatomy can be effectively treated with phalloplasty. A phalloplasty may include some or all of the following: penile shaft, glans, shaft urethra, perineal urethra, scrotoplasty, vaginectomy, testicular implants, and erectile devices.

Female urethral stricture is currently a challenging situation. In general, urethra dilatation can be selected for treatment, but the complications and high recurrence rate urge doctors to consider other treatments.

To investigate the incidence of overactive bladder in men with anterior urethral stricture and to evaluate the impact of urethroplasty on its improvement.

A total of 104 men with anterior urethral stricture who underwent urethroplasty between 2016 and 2020 completed a validated urethral stricture surgery patient-reported outcome measure comprising six lower urinary tract symptoms questions on voiding symptoms and overactive bladder symptom score before and 3, 6, and 12 months after urethroplasty.

To report our early experience of a novel surgical approach for penile urethral strictures after hypospadias repair, using a lateral incision to keep the ventral tissue and vasculature of the penis intact and to avoid the need for tissue interposition.

There are no established guidelines regarding management of antibiotics for patients specifically undergoing urethral reconstruction. Our aim was to minimize antibiotic use by following a standardized protocol in the pre, peri and postoperative setting and adhere to AUA antibiotic guidelines.

Reconstruction of urethral strictures in patients with a history of hypospadias repair is controversial. The authors policy has been that if a residual healthy urethral plate is present, single-stage urethroplasty is recommended.

Reconstructive approaches for distal urethral strictures range from simple meatotomy to utilizing grafts or flaps depending on the etiology, length and location. We describe a contemporary cohort of distal urethral strictures and report a surgical technique termed distal one-stage urethroplasty developed to address the majority of distal urethral strictures encountered.

This study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes of non-transecting urethroplasty and lingual mucosal urethroplasty in the treatment of iatrogenic bulbar urethral stricture.

A total of 25 patients with iatrogenic bulbar urethral stricture were enrolled, 12 of whom underwent lingual mucosal urethroplasty, 13 patients who underwent non-transecting urethroplasty.

To examine the most cited literature in urethral reconstruction, review types of work published, and observe research trends.

The Web of Sciences Sci-Expanded Index was used to conduct a search for urethral reconstruction.

In patients with classic bladder exstrophy (CBE), posterior urethral strictures after primary bladder closure can be difficult to manage and therefore necessitate alternative techniques in reconstruction of the proximal urethra.

We present a novel outpatient transurethral dorsal buccal graft urethroplasty for managing proximal female urethral strictures.

A 69-year-old female presented with a 2.5-year history of slowing urinary stream.

To critically evaluate a multi-institutional patient cohort undergoing single-stage distal urethral repair using a novel transurethral buccal mucosa graft inlay urethroplasty technique (TBMGI).

A retrospective multi-institutional review of consecutive patients with fossa navicularis (FN) strictures treated with a single-stage TBMGI technique at 12 institutions from March 2014-March 2018 was performed.
