Resumen:
To evaluate clinical and patient-reported urinary and sexual outcomes after a long-segment stricture repair using the 1-sided urethral dissection, penile invagination, and dorsal buccal mucosa graft onlay technique described by Kulkarni et al.
Methods:
Patients from 4 institutions after single-stage repairs for long-segment urethral strictures (>8 cm) from January 2002 to April 2016 were reviewed. Technique described by Kulkarni et al was used in all cases. Clinical outcomes included uroflowmetry (Qmax) and post-void residuals. Patient-reported outcome measures included International Prostate Symptom Score survey, Sexual Health Inventory for Men, Male Sexual Health Questionnaire, and Global Response Assessment questionnaire to measure voiding, sexual, ejaculatory symptoms, and overall improvement, respectively.
Results:
Seventy-three patients with a minimum of 12 months' follow-up were included. The mean age and stricture length were 56 (21-80) years and 13.6 (8-21) cm, respectively. At a mean follow-up of 44 (12-162) months, 9 of 73 (12%) strictures recurred. The mean baseline International Prostate Symptom Score of 23 (7-24) decreased to 10 (1-17) on follow-up (P <.001). Eight of 42 pat...
