Methods 78 patients with complex anterior urethral strictures underwent different procedures of urethroplasty.Of them various mucosa urethral reconstruction were adopted in 40 cases,one-stage pedicle flaps urethroplasty in 26 and two-stage urethroplasty of Johanson procedure in 12. Results The patients were followed up for 6 to 36 months (mean 16.5 months).67 patients voided well and complications developed in 11. Of the 11 cases urethrocutaneous fistula occurred in 1,meatal stenosis in 2 and penile chordee in 1 for mucosal urethroplasty;urethrocutaneous fistula occurred in 2 and 1 of them was accompanied by hair bearing neourethra,urethral re-stricture in 3 for pedicle flaps urethroplasty;penile chordee developed in 2 and 1 of them was accompanied by hair bearing neourethra for two-stage urethroplasty of Johanson procedure.
