title: [Urethral reconstructive surgery].
abstract: There is no technique which can be used in all types and localizations of urethral strictures. Urethral strictures occur in the majority of cases in the bulbar urethra. The success rate of urethroplasty is above 80% and results are much better compared to DVIU. Dorsal onlay shows a significantly better success rate than ventral onlay. If the graft bed has poor vascularization a flap should be used or a staged approach should be considered.
