title: [Urethroplasty using a full-thickness free skin graft].
abstract: Full-thickness free skin graft urethroplasty is an excellent technique for the cure of urethral strictures. Based on his experience of 250 cases since 1977, the author describes the indications and limitations related to surrounding tissues and to the graft itself. A rigorous and precise technique, described in detail in this paper, is the key to success.
