Buccal Mucosa Graft Urethroplasty for Anterior Urethral Stricture Repair: Evaluation of the Impact of Stricture Location and Lichen Sclerosus on Surgical Outcome

Abstract

A buccal mucosa graft placed dorsally or ventrally remains an excellent graft material in the bulbar and pendulous urethra. When lichen sclerosus is present, careful consideration should be given to complete excision of the diseased urethra with multistage repair vs accepting a higher rate of stricture recurrence with 1-stage repair.
