There is a high rate of recurrence following endoscopic management. Urethroplasty for female urethral stricture (FUS) is a rare but increasingly common procedure. We report our medium term outcomes for ventral-onlay buccal mucosa graft substitution urethroplasty (VOBMGSU) in treating FUS. METHODS From our prospectively acquired database we reviewed the outcomes of 22 consecutive women (median age 50 years, range 34-72) with FUS having VOBMGSU from June 2012 and with a minimum follow up of 6 months (median 21.5, range 6-51). Data was analysed for complications, stricture recurrence, change in median peak free flow rate (Qmax) and median post-void residuals (PVR). Statistical analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon signed rank test, Students TTest and Mann-Whitney U Test . RESULTS At last follow-up 21/22 (95%) of women were stricture free. Median Qmax was significantly improved from 7 ml/s (range 3.5-11.2) to 18 ml/s (range 5- 37) (p < 0.05). Median PVR was significantly reduced from 100mls (range 0-300) to 15 mls (range 0-150) (p < 0.05). Short and longer-term complication rates were low. 1 patient developed mild de novo stress urinary incontinence, which settled with conservative measures by 6 months. CONCLUSIONS Early and medium term results indicate that VOBMGSU is an excellent treatment for female urethral stricture that can avoid the need for the repeat procedures regularly required after traditional endoscopic management. © 2017FiguresReferencesRelatedDetails Volume 197Issue 4SApril 2017Page: e507 Advertisement Copyright & Permissions© 2017MetricsAuthor Information Bashir Mukhtar More articles by this author Marco Spilotros More articles by this author Mahreen Pakzad More articles by this author Rizwan Hamid More articles by this author Jeremy Ockrim More articles by this author Tamsin Greenwell More articles by this author Expand All Advertisement Advertisement PDF downloadLoading ...
