ABSTRACT

@#Urethral strictures in females are very uncommon. In selected populations of women who underwent urodynamic studies for obstructive symptoms, female urethral strictures represent 4-13% of the causes of bladder outlet obstruction. Literature is limited regarding surgical treatment for near-obliterative urethral strictures in female patients. In this paper, the authors aimed to report a novel technique of double-faced inlay buccal mucosal graft (BMG) urethroplasty, first described by Joshi in 2020. This is a case of a 35-year-old female with progressively worsening lower urinary tract symptoms, several months after undergoing cesarean section despite multiple internal urethrotomies. Grafts were placed both the anterior and posterior urethral walls with noted good urine flow with mild lower urinary tract symptoms on follow-up after 6 months. The combined dorsal and ventral inlay BMG urethroplasty is a feasible technique with good results for female patients with urethral strictures. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first-ever reported case, for this novel technique, in the Philippines.
