Objective: To compare long term outcomes of buccal mucosa graft(BMG) augmentation urethroplasty for long-segment bulbar urethral strictures done by placing the graft ventrally and dorsally. Material and Methods: We conducted a single institution retrospective study on 32 patients who underwent BMG augmentation urethroplasty for non traumatic bulbar urethral stricture between January 2010- December 2018. The cases were divided into two groups based on the site of placement of the BMG graft i.e (a) Ventral (n=22) , (b)Dorsal(n=10). Follow-up period was from one year to five years. Patients with failed outcomes underwent Urethroscopy or Retrograde Urethrogram to note the site of recurrence of stricture. Results: Out of 32 cases 26 (81%) were successful and 6 (19%) failed.The success rates for ventral and dorsal BMG augmentation procedures were 81% and 70%,respectively(p=0.45).Among 6 failed cases 3 (9%)cases had stricture at proximal anastomotic site,2 (2%)cases at distal anastomotic site& 1 (1%)case at pan graft site(p=0.08). Conclusion: The overall success rate for BMG augmentation urethroplasty is equal for all techniques.Dorsal onlay urethroplasty provides better exposure of proximal anastomotic site thus it is associated with minimum proximal anastomotic site recurrence rates.Patient with extensive spongiofibrosis and long segment strictures had higher rate of failure.

Aim: Representing our data regarding use of buccal mucosa for treatment of recurrent urethral stricture. Evaluating effectiveness of buccal graft for reconstruction of urethral segment both penile and bulbar urethra. Materials and methods: We repaired 95 urethral strictures with buccal mucosa grafts from 2004 to 2015. Mean patient age was 39 years. The etiology of stricture was unknown in 54% of cases in other cases ischemia, trauma, instrumentation was the reason. 96% had undergone previous urethrotomy or dilation. The buccal mucosa graft was harvested from lower lip mostly. Mean graft length was 3.8 cm. The graft was placed on the ventral and dorsal bulbar urethral surface in 61 and 34 cases, respectively. In pendulous urethra we routinely use the dorsal graft the Asopa inlay graft or Barbagli onlay graft. Clinical outcome was considered a success or failure at the time that any postoperative procedure was needed, including dilation. Mean follow-up was 36 months (range 16 to 62). Results: We had a success rate of 77% with dorsal inlay or onlay flap for pendulous urethra inferior than ventral graft used for bulbar urethra which was 81% success rate. Conclusions: In our experience the placement of buccal mucosa grafts into the ventral or dorsal surface of the bulbar urethra showed an acceptable success rates 81% and 77% respectively. Longer times of follow up is need to see if the results deteriorated more.

The aim of our work was to evaluate the long-term changes in symptoms (median 42 months) and to analyze data for any negative predictive factors for the application of the procedure, in patients who underwent to urethroplasty with dorsal buccal mucosa graft. During the period from 2010 to 2015 27 patients were examined. Than they underwent urethroplasty using dorsal buccal mucosa graft (graft of 4 x 2.5 cm). The evaluation of symptoms has been addressed through the application of the IPSS Quality of Life Questionnaire (International Prostatic Symptoms Score) and the evaluation of urinary flow has been carried out by a comparative analysis between the pre- and post-operative uroflowmetry. As our study has shown, data obtained by the screening tests in the post-operative follow-up indicate that there is an increase in the maximum flow of urine until 1 month after surgery. The results in the long-term follow-up are different because they show a partial reduction of the maximum flow although it is maintained around an average value of 23 ml/s being still higher than the maximum flow in the pre-operative period. According to our results it follows that there is a low failure rate of the procedure after a median of 42 months. Only in patients with urethral stenosis longer than 2 cm, a lower long term success is achieved. From what we could observe, this length of the stenosis seems to be the only negative predictive factor for long-term maintenance of a good Quality of Life in patients undergoing the procedure. The results obtained from our study confirm literature data according to which, the gold standard for 2-cm long bulbar urethral stricture whose lumen is well preserved with circumferential spongiofibrosis limited to 1-2 mm is the dorsal graft urethroplasty with buccal mucosa that in our study showed success rates higher of 80% after a median follow up of 42 months and a percentage of relapse-free patients of 82.1% ( median 3.5 years).

Objective: To determine the short-term outcome of dorsolateral onlay urethroplasty in the treatment of long segment anterior urethral stricture. Materials and Methods: A prospective study from May 2011 to September 2012 is carried out in department of Urology, National Institute of Kidney Diseases and Urology, Sher-EBanglanagar, Dhaka. Thirty one patients with long anterior urethral stricture were treated by a dorsolateral onlay buccal mucosa graft. After voiding trial, they were followed up at 3 weeks and 3 months with history, physical examination, uroflowmetry and retrograde urethrogram (RGU) if required (uroflowmetry <15 ml/sec). Patients were further followedup at 3 months interval with uroflowmetry and retrograde urethrogram (RGU) if required (uroflowmetry <15 ml/sec). Successful outcome was defined as normal voiding with no surgical intervention after catheter removal. Results: Mean stricture length was 42.49±12.77 mm (range 24-70 mm) and mean follow up was 8 months (range 6 to 12 months). Three patients were found to develop stricture at anastomotic site, during follow-up and required optical internal urethrotomy and was considered as failure. One patient developed wound infection which resolved after regular dressing. Success rate was 90.32%. Conclusion: Dorsolateral onlay BMG urethroplasty is feasible for long anterior urethral stricture with good short term surgical outcome.

Objective: To assess the success of buccal mucosal graft (BMG) urethroplasty by the dorsal onlay technique in bulbar urethral stricture.Materials and Methods: From July 2008 to June 2010, twenty patients with anterior urethral strictures were managed by dorsal onlay BMG urethroplasty. After voiding trial, they were followed up at 3 weeks and 3 months with history, physical examination, uroflowmetry and retrograde urethrogram (RGU) if required. Patients were further followed-up at 3 months interval with uroflowmetry and retrograde urethrogram (RGU) if required. Successful outcome was defined as normal voiding with no surgical intervention after catheter removal.Results: Mean stricture length was 3.5 ± 0.8 cm and mean follow up was 12 months (range 6 to 24 months). Two patients were found to develop stricture at anastomotic site, during followup and required optical internal urethrotomy and was considered as failure. One patient developed wound infection which resolved after regular dressing. Success rate was 90%.Conclusion: Dorsal onlay BMG urethroplasty is a simple technique with good surgical outcome.J Dhaka Medical College, Vol. 26, No.1, April, 2017, Page 8-11

Objective: The objective of the study is to report the outcome of buccal mucosal urethroplasty. Materials and methods: The follow up data of 15 patients undergoing single stage urethroplasty from September 2010 to September 2015 were retropectively reviewed. They received buccal mucosa graft for urethroplasty. The patients were followed for complications and outcome. Results: Mean age was 53.7 ± 13.6 The stricture length ranged from 3 to 6 cm (mean 4.4 ± 0.8). The success rate for buccal mucosa urethroplasty (BMU) was 67.7% at 12th month. Three patients presenting with voiding difficulty in the 3rd month and one in the next 12 months, had urethral restenosis. One patient had fistula formation at 6th month postoperatively. Five patients underwent retreatment procedures such as internal urethrotomy, urethroplasty and/or internal urethrotomy. Conclusions: The buccal mucosa is easy to obtain and handle, therefore BMU can be safely and effectively managed outside high volume institutions.
