Abstract
- The aim of this study was to evaluate outcomes and possible risk factors for failure of open urethroplasty due to penile urethral strictures.A retrospective chart review was undertaken of 90 patients with penile stricture undergoing 109 open urethroplasties between 2000 and 2011. In 80 urethroplasties, a one-stage procedure was performed: 68 of these had a pediculated penile skin flap, nine had a free buccal mucosal graft and three had a free skin graft. A two-stage procedure using buccal mucosa was performed in 29 urethroplasties. Failure was defined as when further urethral instrumentation was needed.The mean age in the one-stage and two-stage groups were 50 and 54 years, respectively. The success rates in the corresponding groups were 65% and 72%, with follow-up times of 63 and 40 months, respectively. Multivariable analyses disclosed body mass index (BMI) and previous urethral surgery to be significant risk factors for failure in the one-stage group. Failure over time significantly decreased during the study period.Both one- and two-stage penile urethroplasty demonstrated success rates in line with previous reports. Limited experience, high BMI and previous urethral surgery appear to be associated with less favourable outcome.
