Description
Summary:To assess the ongoing role of ventral onlay oral mucosa free graft in the treatment of bulbar urethral stricture. Detailed review of technical consideration and outcomes from the author's institution along with review of other peer reviewed literature. Of 62 patients undergoing ventral onlay buccal mucosa urethroplasty, 19% had recurrence of stricture, and an additional 5% exhibited diverticulum formation. Complications were self-limited. Previously published case series and meta-analysis demonstrate similar results. Ventral onlay remains an effective and versatile part of the armamentarium for bulbar urethral stricture.
