Nontransecting Anastomotic Urethroplasty Via Ventral Approach Without Full Mobilization of the Corpus Spongiosum Dorsal Semicircumference.

Objective: To present a novel surgical approach to performing bulbar urethroplasty and to assess its initial outcomes and safety.

Materials And Methods: From January 2016 to March 2019, anastomotic urethroplasty without full mobilization and dissection of corpus spongiosum dorsal semicircumference was performed in 8 males with bulbar strictures by a single surgeon. Patients were given uroflowmetry, urethrography, and International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) questionnaires at their 3- and 12- month follow-up visits postoperatively.
