title: [Mesh graft urethroplasty].
abstract: Since 1977 124 patients with complicated urethral strictures have been treated by using free-foreskin grafts or split-thickness skin grafts to construct a neourethra in a two-stage procedure. Excellent functional and anatomical results have been achieved in 115 patients. The technique is even useful in exceedingly long or problematic strictures, such as in patients with spinal cord injuries.
