Establishing the role of single-stage preputial spiral graft urethroplasty for panurethral stricture.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To assess whether single-stage preputial spiral graft urethroplasty (PSGU) minimises panurethral stricture (PUS) recurrence, which often result from traditional multiple grafting for anterior urethral strictures exceeding 10 cm.

Patients and methods

We prospectively collected 114 patients with PUS treated with single-stage PSGU across five centres in India, Colombia, Egypt, and Italy since May 2021. Preoperative assessment included physical examination, medical history, uroflowmetry, International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), five-item International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5), and urethrography. Intraoperative urethroscopy assessed stricture length and severity. Follow-up included uroflowmetry and patient-reported outcomes. Treatment success was defined
