TL;DR
Ventral buccal mucosa onlay grafting for urethral stricture repair provides stable long-term results with complications occurring primarily during the first 12 postoperative months.

278 Citations1992Rainer A. Bürger, Stefan C. Müller +4 more
Autologous buccal mucosa as a substitute for urethral epithelium was studied in 2 dogs and used in 6 patients with difficult Urethral reconstruction problems, and the final outcome was good functionally and cosmetically in all patients.

For patients with long or dense strictures, buccal mucosal grafts may easily be combined with other reconstructive techniques, and excellent results can be expected when buCCal mucosa is used for urethral substitution in men with refractory bulbar strictures.

The buccal mucosa patch graft is hairless and, therefore, it can tolerate trauma and infection adequately and represents a reasonable alternative when penile skin cannot be used or endoscopic manipulation is not indicated.

203 Citations2001Daniela E. Andrich, Anthony R. Mundy
Buccal mucosal graft is at least as good as any other material for substitution urethroplasty with fewer complications and the 2-stage approach is more reliable than the stage 1 approach for circumferential reconstruction of the urethra.

195 Citations1992Antonio Dessanti, Waifro Rigamonti +3 more
Autologous buccal mucosa alone or combined with bladder mucosa was used as a free graft for urethral reconstruction in 8 patients with hypospadias, and it seems to be a good material for hypos padias repair.

To compare the surgical outcome using buccal mucosal free grafts in the Barbagli procedure (dorsal stricturotomy and patch technique) with the traditional ventral approach, for long bulbar urethral strictures.

152 Citations1998Guido Barbagli, Enzo Palminteri +1 more
Onlay graft urethroplasty provided excellent results in 92% of adults with bulbourethral stricture and the dorsal approach to the urethra allowed the use of foreskin or buccal mucosa graft for reconstruction of the adequate urethral lumen.

151 Citations1998Hunter Wessells, Jack W. McAninch
Reconstruction of long anterior urethral strictures that cannot be excised and reanastomosed remains controversial and both free-graft and flap procedures remain indispensable.

If the initial result is satisfactory, then patch urethroplasties tend to do well in the medium term whatever the source of the flap, although there was a steady annual attrition rate after 4 years of about 5%/year requiring revision.

A thorough knowledge of the vascular supply of the urethra allowed creative application of different tissue transfer techniques, enabling 1-stage reconstruction of complex urethral strictures.
