Purpose: This study aimed to compare the success and postoperative complication rates of the novel non-transecting urethroplasty (NTU) technique and conventional excision-primary anastomosis (EPA) in the surgical treatment of short bulbar urethral strictures.
Material And Methods: Data of the patients who underwent excision-primary anastomosis or NTU procedures at our center for the surgical treatment of bulbar urethral strictures shorter than 3 cm between January 2010 and December 2018 were retrospectively reviewed.
Results: Forty-seven patients fulfilled the eligibility criteria for this study. Among these patients, 22 underwent NTU procedure while 25 underwent EPA. There was no difference between the two groups regarding age, stricture length, etiology, past surgical history, and duration of follow-up. The surgical success rates were 88% and 87,2% in the NTU and EPA groups, respectively ( = 0,603). The complication rates were 12% and 13,6% in NTU and EPA groups, respectively. Two groups were similar concerning complication rates ( = 0,603).
Conclusion: The novel NTU and conventional EPA techniques are similar regarding surgical success and complication rates in the surgical treatment of bulbar urethral strictures shorter than three centimeters.

Repair of the Bulbospongiosus Muscle to Suspend the Penis to the Pubic Bones in Proximal Hypospadias.
J Pediatr Surg
November 2024
Paediatric Urology Department, Royal Manchester Children's Hospital, Oxford Road, Manchester, M13 9WL, United Kingdom.
Background: In proximal hypospadias, ventral curvature is invariable and most have penoscrotal transposition, and we observed that the base of the penis (BOP) was located on the inferior aspect of the pubic bones in those, in contrast to the location of the BOP at the anterior end in normal penises. We also observed an unfused bulbospongiosus muscle (BSM) at surgery in those. The aim was to assess the impact of repairing the unfused BSM or transection and straightening of the urethral plate at the first operation on the low BOP.

Introduction: Panurethral strictures represent the most severe form within the anterior urethral stricture spectrum, requiring more technically complex repairs and resulting in poorer outcomes compared to localized anterior urethral strictures (penile or bulbar). This abstract aims to describe the distinct characteristics of patients with panurethral strictures in a low socioeconomic status population.
Methods: Patients presenting with localized anterior (penile or bulbar) or panurethral strictures at University Hospital in Newark, NJ, between 2021 and 2023 were retrospectively identified.
Development and Validation of the Length, Segment, and Etiology Anterior Urethral Stricture Disease Staging System Using Longitudinal Urethroplasty Outcomes Data From the Trauma and Urologic Reconstruction Network of Surgeons.
J Urol
December 2024
Department of Urology, New York University, New York, New York.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to create and validate an anterior urethral stricture disease (aUSD) staging system based on the previously validated Length (L), Urethral Segment (S), and Etiology (E, LSE) classification system.
Materials And Methods: The Trauma and Urologic Reconstruction Network of Surgeons (TURNS) prospective database was used to create and validate the staging system. A novel Urethroplasty Triad Score was created to aid in ranking the stagings into stricture severity based on (1) functional outcomes, (2) location of urethral meatus (eg, orthotopic, perineal), and (3) number of surgeries required for repair.
Management of bulbar strictures in boys following previous endoscopic treatment of posterior urethral valves.

UROKUL, Kulkarni Reconstructive Urology Centre, Pune, India.
Introduction: Urethral strictures following endoscopic management of Posterior Urethral Valves (PUV) varies from 0 % to 25 % and occurs due to iatrogenic injury of the urethra.
Objectives: To assess the outcomes of children undergoing urethral reconstruction following an iatrogenic injury during endoscopic management of PUV.
Methods: A retrospective review of a prospectively maintained database from 2015 to 2023 was undertaken of children who were referred following an iatrogenic injury to the urethra from prior endoscopic management of PUV.

Purpose: Cobb's collar, also known as Moormann's ring, is a rare membranous stricture of the bulbar urethra. In contrast to the posterior urethral valve (PUV), Cobb's collar is not connected to the verumontanum. A simultaneous occurrence of PUV and Cobb's collar is even rarer.
