Background Techniques to treat urethral stricture and hypospadias are restricted, as
substitution of the unhealthy urethra with tissue from other origins (skin, bladder or buccal …

The repair of urethral stricture is approached with multiple different techniques, ranging from
endoscopic incision to graft placement for open reconstruction, in an attempt to open and …
