Dorsal vs. Ventral Buccal Graft Dorsal vs. Ventral Buccal Graft
Stopped early · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Urethral Stricture
In brief
This is a randomized non-blinded comparison of dorsal vs. ventral approach for buccal mucosa graft urethroplasty in the bulbar urethra. Buccal mucosa graft is a common method of repairing the strictured urethra. Current evidence suggests the two approaches for placement of the graft are equally successful at correcting the stricture and the two approaches have similar risks of complications. The investigators propose to randomly assign appropriately selected patients to either a dorsally- or ventrally-placed graft. No additional procedures beyond the normal care protocol will be required of the patients. Success will be assessed via objective and subjective methods; complications will be tallied in a standardized fashion. Outcomes will be measured at two years.

You may qualify if…
- Strictures must predominantly include the proximal and/or mid bulbar urethra and be otherwise amenable to buccal graft onlay urethroplasty
- Strictures may extend from the mid-bulbar urethra up to the distal bulbar urethra within the scrotum, but not through the scrotum to the pendulous junction
- Subjects able to consent for themselves
You may not qualify if…
- prior open urethral surgery, such as prior urethroplasty, artificial urinary sphincter placement, male urethral sling placement, and rectourethral fistula
- radiation therapy to the pelvis
- previous hypospadias repair
- lichen sclerosis unable to consent for themselves
