To determine the long-term success of ventral inlay buccal-mucosal graft urethroplasty (Vi-BMGU) for female urethral strictures (FUS).We performed a retrospective analysis of prospectively maintained data on patients who underwent Vi-BMGU between May 2016 and January 2020 with a minimum follow-up of 2 years. The primary outcome was the long-term success after 2 to 5 years of surgery. Patients were followed with American Urological Association (AUA) symptom score, uroflowmetry, and post-void residual (PVR) urine measurement. Failure (recurrence) was defined by an increase in the AUA symptoms score by 3 on subsequent follow-up visits and maximum flow rate (Qmax)12 cc/s and inability to calibrate with an 18 Fr catheter.Twenty-one patients were included. The Median follow-up was 42 months (range: 24-64 months). The AUA symptom scores, QThe 95% success at 1 year and 85% sustained success at 2 to 5 years of follow-up establishes the long-term success of Vi-BMGU. |
