Urethral Strictures in Patients After Hypospadias Surgery During Childhood: Is One-Stage Buccal Mucosa Urethroplasty an Option? – Summary:
Margit Fisch, MD, FEAPU, FEBU, Director and Chair of the Department of Urology and Pediatric Urology at the University Medical Centre Eppendorf, University of Hamburg discusses patients who develop urethral strictures after hypospadias surgery during childhood. Dr. Fisch reviews some European studies that show how often hypospadias surgery causes urethral strictures, where exactly they are located, and how they are repaired. She discusses her own study that looks at one-stage Buccal Mucosa Urethroplasty as a repair option for these urethral strictures. Dr. Fisch then gives an overview of the patient population, the methodology used including the operative technique, and the outcomes. Finally, she discusses the conclusions that can be drawn from the study.
