OBJECTIVE To evaluate the intermediate-term clinical efficacy and success rate of tunica vaginalis (TV) pedicle flap for reconstruction of bulbo-penile urethral stricture. METHODS We assessed the medical records of 15 male patients who had undergone TV pedicle flap urethroplasty for reconstruction

OBJECTIVE To explore the treatment of urethral stricture. METHODS We retrospectively studied the clinical data of 1 case of long anterior urethral stricture treated by urethroplasty with pedunculated preputial flap and testicular tunica vaginalis, and summarized the treatment of the disease with

The management of urethral strictures is a challenge for surgery. In the present study the value of tunica vaginalis tissue for urethroplasty was investigated. 30 male rabbits were divided into two groups. In group I (11 animals) a urethral defect was covered with a tunica vaginalis patch (n = 6) or

OBJECTIVE Over previous years, urethral stricture has constantly created a great problem in efforts to find a permanent cure for it. We describe a technique of anterior urethroplasty using tunica albuginea of corpora cavernosa. METHODS After a midline penoscrotal incision, the bulbar or penile

OBJECTIVE To describe a technique of anterior urethroplasty using the tunica albuginea of the corpora cavernosa. METHODS We performed this technique on 99 male patients with anterior urethral stricture with follow-up at 6, 12 and 18 months. We assessed preoperative and postoperative patient
