Reconstruction of the urethra with a Surgisis^® onlay patch in urethral reconstructive surgery: two case reports

Abstract

Abstract Introduction We present two case reports of patients with recurrent stricture of the urethra. We used Surgisis® for reconstruction. Case presentation In these two case reports, we show the positive results of reconstructive surgery with Surgisis® as an alternative surgical approach to common onlay patch surgery of the urethra performed on two Caucasian patients: a 48-year-old man and a 55-year-old man. Conclusion Compared to buccal mucosa flap or foreskin graft surgeries for urethral reconstruction, reconstructive surgery with Surgisis® is considered a relevant therapeutic alternative because of the shorter operation time and the preventable surgery of the buccal cavity or foreskin.
