We evaluate feasibility of dorsal onlay buccal mucosal graft urethroplasty (D-BMGU) and evaluate patency and continence outcomes in patients with a history of prior radical prostatectomy and radiation therapy. METHODS: Retrospective multi-institutional review of patients with post-prostatectomy, post-radiation VUAS/Sp from 8 institutions between 2013-2021 was performed. Patients with at least 8-months follow-up were assessed. Patient demographics, stenosis characteristics, peri-operative outcomes, and post-operative clinical and patient-reported outcomes were analyzed. The primary outcomes were recurrence and development of de-novo stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Secondary outcomes were surgical complications, changes in voiding and patient-reported satisfaction using a Global Response Assessment (GRA). RESULTS: Of 48 patients treated with D-BMGU for stenosis following prostatectomy and radiation, 38 met the inclusion criteria. Median age and stenosis length were 68.5 years, (IQR 63.25-72), and 2.75 cm (IQR 2-4 cm), respectively. Prior CaP treatment modalities included primary robotic prostatectomy and subsequent salvage or adjuvant radiotherapy in 89% (34/38) and primary radiation and salvage prostatectomy in 11% (4/38). The mean length of stay after D-BMGU was 1.5 days (IQR 1-2). At a median follow-up of 21 months (IQR 13-39), 5 patients (13%) had recurrence. Among 11 preoperatively-continent patients (31%) all retained continence. Of 20 patients with preoperative SUI (52%), all but one (95%) remained incontinent post-operatively. Continence was unknown for 7 patients and 3 had post operative incontinence. 47% (17/36) of the cohort subsequently received an artificial urinary sphincter. Patients experienced significant improvement in PVR (158 to 47 cc, p <0.001) and Uroflow (6.3 to 15.4 cc/s, p <0.001), and also reported high overall satisfaction, with 84% reporting a GRA of +2 or better. CONCLUSIONS: Dorsal onlay buccal mucosa graft urethroplasty is a safe and feasible technique in patients with post-radiation post prostatectomy anastomotic contracture. Although our findings suggest the DBMGU technique may confer lower rates of de-novo SUI compared to conventional urethral transection, head-to-head comparisons are needed to further characterize any continence benefit.
