Abstract

There has been rapid evolution in management of urethral strictures in the last 3 decades. From the era of dilatation, we have moved to urethral reconstruction. Reinvention of buccal grafts changed the outcomes of urethroplasty. Barbaglis dorsal onlay popularised stricture management across the globe. Kulkarni described a single stage surgery for panurethral stricture. Advances have taken place, and we have moved from transecting to the non-transecting approaches. We describe the various advances in urethral reconstruction in the last decade.

Keywords: Bulbar urethroplasty; Non transecting urethroplasty; Panurethral stricture; Stricture; Urethra.
