Abstract

Introduction. Insufficient surgical experience and inadequate choice of surgical treatment options may be the reasons for the failure of treatment of urethral stricture. In this regard, a clinical case from our practice is very indicative. Case: The article is devoted to the description of a clinical case of urethral injury in a man who, at the age of 22 years, suffered a fracture of the pelvic bones as a result of a traffic accident. From the moment of injury to the final operation, the following types of surgical interventions were sequentially performed in this patient: anastomotic endto-end urethroplasty, augmentation urethroplasty using a skin graft, augmentation urethroplasty using a graft of the tunica vaginalis of the testicle, bougienage of the urethra, urethroplasty with a vascularized radial fasciocutaneous flap on a vascular pedicle, 2-stage urethroplasty using a graft of the buccal mucosa according to the type of Bracka I and II operations, perineal urethrostomy. Urethrostomy became the final option for urine diversion; no recurrence of urethral stricture was observed during 4 years of follow-up after urethrostomy. Conclusion. Until recently, the lack of uniform approaches to the treatment of urethral stricture has led to the use of inadequate methods of surgical treatment in various clinics. The recent approval of federal clinical guidelines for urethral stricture should help optimize the treatment of this disease. Keywords: urethral stricture, urethroplasty, urethrostomy
