Abstract
Autologous buccal mucosa alone or combined with bladder mucosa was used as a free graft for urethral reconstruction in 8 patients with hypospadias. Of these patients 3 with medium penile hypospadias and chordee received a buccal mucosa graft alone and 5 with severe hypospadias received a combined buccal/bladder mucosa graft. Followup at 6 to 18 months showed no complications apart from a fistula in 1 patient with a buccal mucosa graft alone. Our initial results are encouraging. Buccal mucosa seems to be a good material for hypospadias repair.
