Buccal mucosal graft urethroplasty in pan-urethral stricture in an adult patient with epidermolysis bullosa: a case report and review of literature

Epidermolysis bullosa is a rare genetic disorder that leads to skin fragility and the formation of blisters from the slightest trauma. There are 4 major types that have been described, with junctional and dystrophic types being more prone to result in genitourinary tract complications. The most common complication is meatal stenosis. Others include urethral stricture, urinary retention, ureteral stricture, bladder hypertrophy, and urinary tract infections. We report the successful outcome of urethroplasty using buccal graft mucosa for a 34-year-old male with epidermolysis bullosa who suffered from pan-urethral stricture.
