This study was carried out in the Department of Urology, National Institute of Kidney Diseases and Urology, (NIKDU), during the period from Jan' 09 to Dec' 10 to assess the complications at donor site after lingual mucosal graft harvesting for urethroplasty. A total of 30 patients with mean age of 36.6 years (rang 21 to 56 years) and mean urethal stricture length of 36 mm (range 22 to 59 mm) who underwent urethroplasty for anterior urethral strictures using dorsal onlay of a lingual mucosal graft (LMG) were selected for the study. The site of the harvest graft was ventrolateral mucosal lining of the tongue. Donor site complications like pain, numbness, tightness, slurring of speech, salivatory changes and difficulty in protrusion of tongue were noted. The mean period of follow-up was 14 months (range 6-18 months). At the first postoperative day, 96% of the patients experienced pain at donor site and 26% had slurring of speech. Pain was mild to discomforting in 60% and distressing to excruciating in 37% of the patients. By third postoperative day, 22 (73%) patients were pain free, 06 (20%) suffered from mild pain and 02 (6%) suffered from discomforting pain only and none had slurring of speech. On the fifth postoperative day, only 02 (6%) patient suffered pain. By day 6 of surgery, all patients were pain free. Only 01 (3.3%) patients reported numbness which persisted during the whole period of follow up. The study showed that LMG is easy to harvest and associated with less postoperative pain, minor risk of donor site complications and without any functional or esthetic deficiency. So tongue may be the best alternative donor site for anterior urothroplasty. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjmb.v5i2.13341 Bangladesh J Med Biochem 2012; 5(2): 48-52

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of a lingual mucosal graft (LMG) urethroplasty for long segment (>2cm) anterior urethral strictures. Materials and Methods: A total of 30 patients underwent urethroplasty for anterior urethral strictures using dorsal onlay of a LMG from January 2009 to December 2010. We selected 21 to 56 years old (mean age 36.6). Stricture length was 22 to 59 mm (mean 36); 14 strictures were in the bulbar urethra, 09 were in the proximal penile and 07 were in both bulbar and penile urethra. Postoperatively all patients were followed with urethrography, uroflowmetry, cystourethrography and urethroscopy after 3weeks, 3 months and 06 months. Successful reconstruction criteria were peak flow rate greater than 15 ml per second and no need for postoperative urethral dilation. Results: The mean period of follow-up was 9 months (range 4-12). The overall success rate at 3rd week and 3rd month was 96.7% and at 6th month was 90%. Three patients developed repeat stricture at the anastomotic site. All the patients were able to resume oral fluid within 24 h, eat soft solid diet in 48–72 h and return to normal diet after 4– 5 days of surgery. No patient suffered from difficulty in opening the mouth, salivation disturbances, or difficulty in protrusion of tongue. Conclusions: LMG is easy to harvest. LMG seems to be associated with less postoperative pain and a minor risk of donor site complications or without any functional or esthetic deficiency. The tongue may be the best alternative donor site. Bangladesh Journal of Urology, Vol. 15, No. 1, Jan 2012 p.11-14

Background: Treatment of the urethral strictures is challenging and with appropriate evaluation preoperatively and surgery planning it is possible to achieve good results. The objective of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of dorsal onlay buccal mucosal graft urethroplasty in treating long anterior urethral strictures.Methods: Between August 2018 to July 2019 a total of 25 patients with anterior urethral stricture were treated with dorsal onlay buccal mucosal graft urethroplasty. Age, etiology of the stricture, stricture length (≤ 7 cm, and > 7 cm), and site of the stricture were assessed as the factors affecting the success rate.Results: The clinical outcome as Success was defined as the patient not needing any form of urethral instrumentation postoperatively. The mean follow-up period was 18 months. Of 25 patients, 22 (92%) were successful and 3 (8%) were a failure. There was no statistically significant difference between the age groups, etiology of the stricture and success rate (p=0.21 and p=0.444). The statistical difference was significant for the site and length of the stricture by means of success (p=0.005 and p=0.025).Conclusions: Our results show stricture length and localization are the most important variables for good success. Because of less failure rate, single-stage dorsal onlay buccal mucosal graft urethroplasty may be offered as an alternative to staged urethroplasty in case of long urethral strictures.

Introduction: Autologous costal cartilage dorsal onlay graft is widely used for dorsum and radix augmentation in secondary cleft lip nasal rhinoplasty. The most common drawback of costal cartilage dorsal onlay graft is warping. The purpose of this article is to describe our chimeric autologous costal cartilage graft technique, which prevents warping significantly. “Chimeric” means the combination of 2 different tissues (bone and cartilage) to make a single dorsal onlay graft. Patients and Methods: From June 2011 to June 2014, 16 cleft lip patients who underwent rhinoplasty and needed dorsal onlay grafts with costal cartilage graft using the chimeric autologous costal graft method were identified. All patients were operated by the corresponding author. Patients’ nasal profiles were documented and photographed preoperatively and postoperatively. Result: There were 5 males and 11 females with ages ranging from 20 to 52 years (averaging 29.5 years). There were 14 unilateral and 2 bilateral cleft lips. The average follow-up time was 12.1 months. Six patients received revision surgery, including 1 (6%) warping and 5 (30%) revisions. All patients were harvested rib cartilage graft as cartilage donor and there was no complication with the donor site. Conclusion: From the clinical observation of all patients during the follow-up period, this technique is effective for preventing cartilage warping.

ABSTRACT Purpose: To discuss the role and mechanism of action of soft tissue reinforcement interposition flaps (strifs) in hypospadias repairs (reinforced hypospadiac urethroplasties). Materials and methods: between 2000-2005, 120 consecutive hypospadiacs (distal 85, mid 20, proximal 15), who underwent primary reinforced urethroplasties employing different types of strifs, were retrospectively analyzed. the strifs were highly vascular soft tissue pedicled flaps (devoid of epithelium) interposed between neo-urethras and the covering skin to reinforce the neo-urethras against fistula formation. the strifs were harvested, without much donor site deformity, from: preputial skin, penile skin and scrotal skin by de-epithelialization. those from buck′s fascia, corpus spongiosum and tunica vaginalis are strifs without epithelium anyway, therefore do not need de-epithelialization. redo urethroplasties and micropenises were not included. seven patients were excluded because they had incomplete follow-up. the remaining 113 (distal 84, mid 17, proximal 12) were followed up for nine to 40 months for number, size, location, spontaneous closure and persistence of urethro-cutaneous fistula (ucf), and other complications with regard to the severity of hypospadias, method of neourethral re-construction, types of strifs employed and skin cover used. a total of 158 strifs and 124 skin covers were used in 113 hypospadiac urethroplasties. Results: the first surgery was curative in 74 (65%) of 113 patients. in the remaining 39 (35%), various complications included 12 urethro-cutaneous fistulas (ucfs), 10 urethral strictures, six cases each of penile torsion and meatal stenosis and five cases each of superficial necrosis and poor cosmesis. of these 39 patients, 25 (64%) recovered with conservative treatment and 14 (36%) required re-operation, i.e. ucfs and strictures in four cases each and penile torsion, meatal stenosis and dog-ears in two cases each. all the 12 ucfs were single, pinpointed and were located at the corona in five and at the shaft in seven. eight (67%) of the 12 ucfs healed spontaneously during the follow-up period of 12 weeks.Conclusions: harvesting strifs is technically easy, however, great care is required in their handling, accurate placement and suturing over and around the re-constructed neo-urethras for their secured reinforcement against fistula formation. use of strifs in hypospadias repairs decreases fistula-associated morbidity but does not absolutely prevent fistula formation. the strifs reduce the size and prevent multiplicity of ucfs and locate the ucfs eccentrically well away from the neo-urethra to facilitate their spontaneous (conservative) as well as subsequent (surgical) closure. the mechanism of action of strifs is multi-factorial, like acting as a mechanical barrier; preventing suture line superimposition; inducing neo-angio-genesis; working as biological drain; providing mechanical support; and, filling the dead spaces.

Abstract Purpose To quantify the effect on strength of semitendinosus (ST) graft harvest by comparing isokinetic and isometric muscle strength. Methods A cohort of 140 patients underwent anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR) and were randomized to ipsilateral or contralateral ST graft harvest. Isokinetic and isometric muscle strength testing using a dynamometer were collected for the operated and non-operated leg. Patients were assessed pre-surgery and at 6, 12 and 24 months after reconstruction. Results ST graft harvest reduced isokinetic flexion muscle strength for 6 months. At 12 months follow up there was no significant difference between the two groups and they were all stronger than pre-injury. No other significant differences were found in any primary or secondary outcome measurements. Conclusion Solitary ST graft harvest does not appear to result in a permanent reduced isometric or isokinetic quadriceps muscle strength on the side where the graft is harvested. A reduction in hamstring muscle strength of less than 10% can be seen at short-term follow-up with full recovery by 12 months. Most patients report little or no donor site pain. Given these findings, ST autograft is an alternative graft choice that could be used for various reconstructions in terms of donor site morbidity. Level of evidence Level II.

Objective: To determine the feasibility, safety, efficacy and short term outcome of using new surgical technique for repair of anterior urethral stricture Introduction: The conventional approach for management of long segment anterior urethral stricture is a two stage Johansons repair along with the use of free grafts if required. Now a days the preferred management of urethral stricture involving long segments of anterior urethra is dorsal only oral mucosa Augmentation urethroplasty which requires circumferential mobilization of urthera that might cause ischaemia of urethra in addition of chordee. For that we adopted new technique (kulkarnis) of dorsolateral onlay buccal mucosal graft one sided anterior urethroplasty in which only unilateral urethral mobilization done through perineal approach. Materials and Methods: A total of 50 patients underwent urethroplasty for anterior urethral strictures using dorsolateral onlay BMG from April 2010 to December 2012 at NIKDU, JBFH, BSMMU and BDM Hospital. We selected 16 to 70 years old male (mean age 39 years) underwent a one-sided dorsolateral oral mucosal graft urethroplasty. The mean (range) stricture length was 6.5 (4.5-9) cm in patients with single bulbar urethral involvement and 10.5 (8.5–15.0) cm in patients with panurethral strictures. Free graft was taken from oral mucosa either lower lip or cheeks. Follow up was done by uroflowmetry at 3rd week, after removal of penile catheter and repeat at 3rd and at 6th month. In addition to uroflometry – RGU & MCU was done at 3rd month and Urethrocystoscopy was done at 6th month follow up. The results were classified into the following outcomes. Success was defined as a maximum flow rate of >10 ml/sec, normal RGU, and/or urethroscopy (with a 19 Fr. sheath). Failure was defined as the presence of obstructive urinary tract symptoms, Qmax <10 ml/sec, stricture diagnosed on retrograde urethrogram/ urethroscopy, and the need for any postoperative urethral intervention. Result: The overall follow up was 12-30 months. Of the 50 patients 45 (90%) had a successful outcome and 5(12%) had failure. 3 failure treated by OIU and 2 by meatal dilatation. No significant donor site defect was observed. Bangladesh Journal of Urology, Vol. 16, No. 2, July 2013 p.37-42
