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.

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.

Purpose. Although the use of buccal mucosa in substitution urethroplasty has been practiced for some years, it has not been free of controversy over which surgical technique is the most appropriate to use. There is paucity of data in Sub-Saharan Africa about its success; this study presents the outcomes of dorsal and ventral buccal graft urethroplasty at a sub-Saharan tertiary hospital. Methods. This is a prospective study in which buccal mucosa was used for ventral and dorsal grafts; followup was up to two years. All patients provided informed written consent for the procedures. Results. Seventy-two patients with bulbar urethral strictures underwent buccal graft one-stage urethroplasty. Mean age was 55 years; etiology of the strictures was postinflammatory due to urethritis from sexually transmitted infections 97% (70/72) and trauma 3% (2/72). Buccal mucosa grafts were harvested from the cheek using a two-team approach. Grafts were placed on the ventral and dorsal urethral surfaces in 32 and 40 cases, respectively; the success rate was 84 and 80%, respectively. Repeated urethroplasty was successfully done among 10% (7/72) and patients reported resolution of symptoms in the follow-up period. Conclusion. There was no difference between dorsal and ventral onlay buccal graft outcomes for bulbar urethral strictures. The success rate was 80 to 84%.

Objective: To share our experience with buccal mucosal graft (BMG) urethroplasty for the management of anterior urethral strictures in BIRDEM General Hospital, Dhaka. Materials and methods: This study was conducted from January 2013 to January 2018. Patients selected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. The oral mucosal characteristics were assessed in all patients during the initial workup. Single stage dorsolateral onlay graft urethroplasty done in all patients. They were followed according schedule for outcome and complications. Result:Total 59 patients were studied. Overall success rate of BMG urethroplasty was 88.1% at 12th month. Complications include development of periurethral abscess (3.4%), restructure (8.5%) development of fistula (1.7%). Total 8 patients underwent retreatment procedures like drainage of periurethral abscess, dilatation, optical internal urethrotomy (OIU) and revision urethroplasty. Conclusion:The buccal mucosa is easy to obtain and handle, therefore BMG urethroplasty is a safe and effective in managing anterior urethral stricture.

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.

Background: Authors describe their experience with dorsal onlay urethroplasty using Buccal mucosal graft or penile skin graft through dorsal sagittal urethrotomy for bulbar urethral stricture.Methods: From 2014 to 2017, 29 male patients with bulbar urethral stricture have been treated by one stage dorsal onlay substitution urethroplasty using buccal mucosal graft and penile skin graft. Patients with balanitis xerotica obliterans, unhealthy penile skin, oral mucosa pathology or those who had undergone more than one urethral dilation/internal urethrotomy or urethroplasty were excluded from study. Results were analyzed at 6th and 12th month follow up with clinical history and uroflowmetry. Clinical outcome was considered a failure when any postoperative instrumentation was needed, including dilation or optical internal urethrotomy.Results: A total of 16 men age between 21 to 56 years for buccal mucosa graft (BMG) urethroplasty and 13 men age between 18 to 59 years underwent dorsal onlay substitution urethroplasty using BMG and penile skin graft (PSG). Mean stricture length was 4.2 cm (3.8-6) for BMG urethroplasty and 4.1 cm (3.2-5) for PSG urethroplasty. Mean length and width of graft were 4.2 cm and 2.6 cm respectively in BMG urethroplasty while 4.6 cm and 2.5 cm in PSAG urethroplasty. Average follow up months were 13.4 months with overall success rate 87.5% in BMG urethroplasty while average follow up months were 14.6 months with overall success rate 82.3% in PSG urethroplasty.Conclusions: On short term follow up substitution urethroplasty using both penile skin and buccal mucosa graft have comparable results.
