A new option for the management of urethral trauma: primary reconstruction of posterior urethral disruption with a buccal mucosa transplant

Up to now, the management of traumatic posterior urethral disruption ranges from primary realignment to delayed urethroplasty. However, we reconstructed the membranous part of the urethra with an onlay graft of buccal mucosa after traumatic complete disruption as a first line therapy. After 7 months...

Summary:Up to now, the management of traumatic posterior urethral disruption ranges from primary realignment to delayed urethroplasty. However, we reconstructed the membranous part of the urethra with an onlay graft of buccal mucosa after traumatic complete disruption as a first line therapy. After 7 months followup, the clinical outcome is very good. Because primary reconstruction of the urethra with a buccal mucosa graft after traumatic disruption has not yet been reported, the question arises whether this technique should be routinely included as an option for primary urethral reconstruction after trauma of the posterior urethra.
