Anastomotic urethroplasty in female urethral stricture guided by cystoscopy - a point of technique.

Purpose: During anastomotic urethroplasty for stricture urethra with false passage using standard technique, there remains a chance of anastomosis of normal distal urethra to proximal false lumen. Herein, we present a point of technique in which by using antegrade cystoscope, one cannot just identify and dissect normal anatomical proximal urethral lumen, but also perform some of the steps for anastomosis under direct vision. This will avoid making anastomosis to false lumen and thus leading to further complications.

Dorsal onlay buccal mucosal graft urethroplasty in female urethral stricture disease: a single-center experience.

Introduction And Hypothesis: The aim of this report is to present our initial, short-term experience with dorsal onlay buccal mucosal graft urethroplasty (DBMGU) in women with urethral stricture.

Methods: Between May 2011 and April 2013, eight women with moderate to severe bothersome lower urinary tract symptoms due to mid- or distal urethral stricture underwent DBMGU. All women were evaluated preoperatively with the American Urological Association (AUA) symptom score, uroflowmetry with post-void residual volume (PVR) estimation, urodynamic study, calibration with 14 F catheter, and voiding cystourethrography.
