Minimally Invasive Buccal Mucosa Dorsal Graft for Female Distal Urethroplasty.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Female urethral stricture (FUS) represents a sporadic condition. There is a lack of data and standardized guidelines on diagnostics and therapeutics. Several surgical techniques have been described for FUS urethroplasty, among which the flap-based or graft-based ones are most reported. Buccal mucosa graft (BMG) represents the gold standard for male urethroplasty, and this can theoretically be applied also to FUS treatment.

Objective

To describe and present preliminary results of a novel minimally invasive technique for buccal mucosa dorsal graft (mini-dorsal BMG) urethroplasty for the treatment of FUS.

Design setting and participants

This is a retrospective study on buccal mucosa dorsal graft urethroplasty for the treatment of FUS.
