Modification of minced buccal mucosal graft endourethral urethroplasty: A pilot study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The minced buccal mucosal graft endourethral urethroplasty (MBGEU) is our novel technique of combining direct vision internal urethrotomy with buccal mucosal graft urethroplasty. We assessed success at 30-months of follow-up. Secondary objectives were to compare the changes in the American Urological Association (AUA) symptom score, peak flow rate (Qmax), and post-void residue (PVR) postoperatively.

Methods

This pilot study (CTRI/2021/09/036651) was conducted at a tertiary-care center and included 30 male patients with primary, <2 cm bulbar urethral strictures. A 1 cm × 1 cm buccal mucosal graft was harvested, minced, centrifuged, and suspended in fibrin glue. After a cold knife urethrotomy, a 12-Fr Foley was placed. An 11-Fr cystourethroscope was passed by the
