Full-thickness abdominal skin graft for long-segment urethral stricture reconstruction

Multiple tissue sources have been used for urethral reconstruction in adults. Patients with lichen sclerosis (LS), long segment strictures, or prior oral graft use have less available tissue for urethroplasty. We describe a technique for the use of a full-thickness skin graft of hairless abdominal skin for long segment urethroplasty.
