Abstract
- Fossa navicularis strictures have troubled urologists for years. Although several flap procedures have been described none truly leaves a normal-appearing penis postoperatively. A new technique is described of the reconstruction of the fossa navicularis with a ventral transverse island flap on a broad, dependable pedicle. All 5 patients who have undergone the procedure have excellent cosmetic and functional results. The appearance of the penis postoperatively is normal, with a median followup of 17 months. Early reconstruction of fossa strictures may avoid the sequelae of more conservative attempts at management, thus, correcting the fossa stricture itself before the occurrence of penourethral stricture disease secondary to repeated dilations, meatotomy and internal urethrotomy.
