Abstract:
Urethroplasty is now the optimal option for the treatment of male urethral stricture. The rapid development of tissue substitution techniques over the past decades provides a great possibility of achieving good long-term outcomes of urethroplasty. Necessary techniques required for urethroplasty, such as those to present the position, length and severity of the stricture and precisely evaluate the quality of the transplanted tissue, are critical for the success of surgery. This review focuses on the application and outcomes of adoptable uretheroplasty for male urethral strictures in different anatomical positions.
