Abstract:
Objective:To explore the efficacy of urethrolplasty for anterior urethral stricture using lingual mu-cosal graft. Methods.. Between December 2006 and January 2009, 36 patients with complex anterior urethral stric-tures were treated with lingual mucosal graft. Results: Follow-up was performed for 3-25 months (mean 13.6 months) postoperatively. Complications occurred in 4 patients, including urinary fistulas in 2 patients, which im-proved by the second urethrolplasty; recurrent stricture in 2 patients, which was cured after urethral dilation. The remaining patients voided well postoperatively, with mean peak flows 23.8 ml/s. Conclusions:The lingual mucosal graft has the advantages of accessibility, lower complication rate and better compatibility for treatment of anterior urethral strictures.
