OBJECTIVE: Evaluation of the results of dorsolateral buccal mucosal augmentation urethroplasty in patients with a long- segment urethral strictures. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Twenty male patients who underwent urethroplasty in our clinic between November 2015 and January 2017 were evaluated. The outcomes of single-stage dorsolateral buccal mucosal augmentation urethroplasty were retrospectively evaluated. Patients were followed-up at 2nd-3rd weeks, 3rd and 6th months after the operation. RESULTS: Mean age of the patients was 59.45±13.6 years. Mean length of the strictures was 4.59±1.99 cm (3-11 cm) and mean length of buccal mucosal graft was 6.8±1.98 cm (5-13 cm). Mean duration of operation was 149.25±47.39 minutes (95-270 min) and mean blood loss was calculated as 165.5±63.05 mL (75-280 mL). The success rate of dorsolateral buccal mucosal augmentation urethroplasty was calculated as 85% after a mean follow-up of 7.38±2.6 months. There were no perioperative or postoperative complications in the urethroplasty region or the mouth except one patient. Three patients who were found to have a decline in the maximum voiding rate in the postoperative 3rd month were included in the dilation program. CONCLUSION: Single-stage dorsolateral buccal mucosal augmentation urethroplasty is a surgical option to be used in the treatment of long segment urethral strictures with high success and low complication rates in experienced hands.
