Transpubic-perineal urethral reconstruction in boys using a substitution graft.
A combined transpubic-perineal 1-stage approach was used for urethral replacement and proximal urethral repair in 6 boys: 4 were treated for a long proximal urethral stricture secondary to trauma and 2 with urethral atresia underwent replacement of the entire anterior urethra. All patients underwent a urethral substitution graft of either skin or bladder mucosa. Followup ranged from 2 to 8 years with all patients continent.
