One-stage urethroplasty using a combination of buccal mucosa graft and Q penile skin flap for a complicated urethral stricture: A challenging case report

The key factors in deciding the treatment for urethral strictures are their location and length. Both grafts and flaps are effective for urethroplasties. However, complex long strictures with damaged urethral plates pose challenges for successful single-stage reconstruction. Combining a dorsal buccal mucosa graft to augment the urethral plate with a ventral onlay penile skin flap is a promising approach, leveraging the benefits of both tissue types. Combining grafts and flaps is advisable for reconstructing complicated urethral strictures with damaged urethral plates. Consulting a more experienced surgeon is recommended to minimize the risk of complications.
