Arch Ital Urol Androl. 2005 Jun;77(2):131-2.

Abstract

Series of free graft methroplasties for structure of the urethra according to Barbagli. Fifteen men underwent dorsal free graft methroplasty for structures situated in the penile urethra in 6 cases, in the bulbous urethra in 7 and in the urethra geno bulbous in 2. The length of the structures ranged from 1.5 to 13 cm. In all the patients but one uroflow was satisfactory at a mean follow-up of 40 months. In one patient a reument structure occurred 8 months after treatment and was successfully treated with cold urethrotomy. In conclusion, dorsal free graft urethroplasty is a safe and fairly simple procedure in long bulbous stenosis and penile multi stenosis.
