Urethroplasty Techniques and Considerations

Preoperative and Intraoperative Factors

• The American Urological Association recommends avoiding the use of hair-bearing skin for urethroplasty substitution due to potential complications such as urethral stones, recurrent urinary tract infections, and obstruction of urine flow 1

Postoperative Care and Complications

• The use of oral mucosa as a first-choice graft for urethroplasty substitution results in higher patient satisfaction compared to skin flaps 1
• Single-stage urethroplasty should be avoided in cases requiring replacement of long urethral segments due to a high risk of restenosis 2
