Abstract

The surgical advancement of urethral reconstruction is a rapidly moving field. In the last decade, the technique for bulbar urethroplasty has evolved towards less invasive approaches with minimal transection and more tissue sparing in order to increase the patency rate. In this study, we provide a step forward in the urethroplasty proposed in 2012, with a true mucosa- sparing modification of the technique. The technique aims to preserve the native vascularity of the urethral mucosa by enlarging the native urethral plate with a direct anastomosis at the level of the stricture, and without the need for resection. In our hands the technique was easy and reproducible, and it carried promising results.
