BMG urethroplasty is a type of surgery done to fix the urethra by taking out a part of the urethra and replacing it with a piece of skin taken from the patient's inner cheek. The skin that was infected is surgically opened and made wider with the skin graft to create a passage for urine to flow out normally.
This procedure is considered to be the best option for the treatment of long, recurring, or complicated strictures. It provides permanent, long-lasting results as opposed to endoscopic treatments. The surgery is done while the patient is put under anesthesia and is done to fix the blockage for good.
The ideal candidates are those experiencing substantial urethral narrowing leading to poor urine flow or retention, and the ideal candidates are men with long or complex strictures who might not do well with endoscopic approaches. Most improve after having recurrent blockage following previous interventions. Good health and the ability to tolerate anesthesia are noted.
BMG urethroplasty has a long-term success rate in expert hands of over 85-90%. The success of the procedure is related to the stricture's length and location as well as the technique used to perform the urethroplasty. Adequate postoperative care and graft placement can increase the durability of the procedure. Compared to repeated endoscopic surgeries, urethroplasty is a better option for long-term symptom relief and stricture recurrence.
In the beginning, because the urethra is healing, a catheter will be needed. Soreness will be experienced in the mouth for a short time. The length of hospital stay is 3-5 days and a catheter will be in place for 2-3 weeks. Urination will happen normally after catheter removal.
Your child will be put to sleep under general anesthesia before the procedure begins. The surgeon will make a small incision and open up the skin over the stricture to get access to the narrowed urethra. A necessary step is to take a graft from the child’s inner cheek. The graft will be attached to the urethra to open the narrowed portion and a catheter will be left in place for a few weeks to allow for healing.
BMG urethroplasty fixes urethral narrowing for good! It helps urine flow return to normal and lowers the risk of it narrowing again. The long-term results of this surgery are better than those of endoscopic procedures. The graft used in surgery combines well and allows the urethra to stay open. The patient's quality of life increases greatly after this surgery.
