title: Reconfigured sigmoid colon neourethra: substitution of refractory posterior urethral stricture.
abstract: The repair of extensive posterior urethral stricture often poses a therapeutic dilemma, especially when the urethral defect is too extensive to be repaired with traditional methods and the stricture portion has a poor blood supply. This report details the successful substitution of an extensive posterior urethral stricture using a reconfigured sigmoid colon neourethra.
