ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS:
Female urethral stricture is a relatively uncommon disease. Conservative management with repeated urethral dilation often leads to unsatisfactory results. Although treatment of female urethral stricture with urethral reconstruction using a variety of surgical techniques is a surgical option, female pelvic reconstructive surgeons have limited exposure to these procedures in their training. The purpose of this video is to demonstrate a step-by-step ventral-onlay buccal mucosal graft urethroplasty in a patient with female urethral stricture disease.METHODS:
We use a live action surgical video to describe the harvest of a buccal mucosal graft and ventral-onlay urethroplasty.RESULTS:
This video provides a step-by-step approach to a ventral urethroplasty using a buccal mucosal graft. It can be used to educate and train those performing female pelvic reconstructive surgery.CONCLUSION:
Pelvic surgeons should be familiar with the management of female urethral stricture, including surgical treatment options such as urethral reconstruction. This video may be used to facilitate the reproducibility and comprehension of the ventral urethroplasty procedure.Palabras clave
