Posterior urethroplasty with tubularized bladder mucosal graft.
Surgical management of long strictures of the posterior urethra is difficult and there is no concrete method that guarantees excellent results. The use of bladder mucosa has become established in the 1980s as treatment for anterior urethral reconstruction in hypospadias repair. We report 2 difficult cases (multioperations) of membranous urethral strictures treated with free tubularized bladder mucosal grafts with good initial results.
