Abstract

Female urethral stricture disease is less well-known entity. Around 10% of females with obstructive voiding symptoms have a true anatomical stricture urethra. Due to difficulty in a standard criterion to diagnose stricture urethra in females, patients come late to the urologist. Final diagnosis is done with urethroscopy with 6/7.1 Fr ureteroscope. Various techniques of urethroplasty in females have been described.These techniques are performed with grafts or flaps, either dorsally or ventrally. We here describe a case series of stricture urethra in females treated with dorsal onlay buccal mucosal graft (BMG) urethroplasty. Dorsal only BMG female urethroplasty is a safe, efficacious, and reliable treatment option for stricture urethra in females.
