Abstract
Urethral strictures in children, which are not frequent, often require urethroplasty when dilations and/ or urethrotomies have failed. A bladder mucosa graft was used successfully for urethral reconstruction to treat posterior hypospadias. We describe our experience with a bladder mucosa graft during urethroplasty for acquired urethral strictures in 8 children. Urethral strictures secondary to the treatment of hypospadias were excluded. Bladder mucosa was used successfully as an onlay or patch graft urethroplasty in 7 patients. One patient had a tubularized graft with secondary stenosis treated successfully by dilation.
