Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo explore the treatment of urethral stricture.
METHODSWe retrospectively studied the clinical data of 1 case of long anterior urethral stricture treated by urethroplasty with pedunculated preputial flap and testicular tunica vaginalis, and summarized the treatment of the disease with review of the relevant literature.
RESULTSThe operation was smooth and successful, and no such complications as fistula and urethral stricture were found during the follow-up.
CONCLUSIONUrethroplasty with pedunculated preputial flap and testicular tunica vaginalis as a substitute is feasible for the treatment of urethral stricture. The key to a successful operation is the proper choice of a urethral substitute.
