Repair of a prostato-membranous urethral stricture with a gracilis myocutaneous flap
Abstract
A one-stage repair was carried out for a prostato-membranous urethral stricture using an epilated gracilis myocutaneous flap. The follow-up has now lasted for 2 years and 6 months. The patient has been continent and able to pass urine with a good stream. This procedure is particularly suitable for reconstruction of the posterior bulbar and prostrato-membranous urethra which is difficult to repair by standard techniques.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.
