title: Suboptimal results in full thickness skin graft urethroplasty using an extrapenile skin donor site.
abstract: We performed 22 full thickness skin graft urethroplasties for treatment of urethral stricture disease or hypospadias. Excellent results were achieved in 18 cases in which a penile skin donor site was used. Three failures occurred in 4 cases in which the full thickness graft was raised from the inner aspect of the upper arm. These results suggest caution when extrapenile skin is used for such repairs.
