Abstract

The use of oral mucosa for urethral stricture repair has become the standard approach in reconstructive urethral surgery. Compared to other tissues oral mucosa shows several advantages, such as simple harvesting, good urine tolerance and low harvesting morbidity. For defects of the male bulbar urethra measuring 2 cm or longer, urethral reconstruction with oral mucosa is the procedure of choice. The oral mucosa graft can be used as an inlay or as an onlay graft. Most repairs can be completed in one stage but for complex strictures two stages are needed.
