SUFU 2008 Winter Meeting State Of The Art Bulbar Urethroplasty: New Perspectives On Procedure Selection
Historically, the maximal length of strictures that were thought to be amenable to primary excision and anastamosis was far less than the 5cm suggested in a recent publication. Consideration of the use of graftless techniques that are traditionally used for longer strictures is dependent upon the location of the stricture and the stretched penile length (SPL), as suggested by Dr. Morey. Disease within the bulbar urethra, particularly proximally, and SPL =14cm were favorable for success of primary excision and anastamosis without graft supplementation. While mobilization of the proximal bulb can be challenging, Dr. Morey emphasized that the distal bulbar urethra is very amenable to mobilization, particularly with the scrotum retracted distally, and this can facilitate successful primary repair of even long bulbar strictures.
