Resumen

En pacientes con estrechez uretral bulbar de una longitud mayor a 2 cm, que no sean candidatos a otras técnicas, se realiza uretroplastia con injerto. Actualmente se emplean diversas técnicas, cada una con ventajas y desventajas propias.

Describir las ventajas y desventajas de las técnicas quirúrgicas empleadas actualmente en la uretroplastia con injerto, así como sus tasas de éxito.

Se hizo una búsqueda en PubMed, ClinicalKey y en ScienceDirect, utilizando las palabras claves: “urethral stricture,” “urethroplasty,” “oral graft” y “flap.” Se utilizaron los estudios más relevantes, tanto originales como revisiones sistemáticas y meta-análisis, en inglés y en español.

Las diferentes técnicas quirúrgicas ofrecen ventajas y desventajas teóricas frente a las otras, aunque las tasas de éxito en todas es cercana al 90%, sin ser una francamente superior frente a las demás.

La elección de la técnica quirúrgica a realizar depende de las preferencias y experiencia del cirujano, dado que la tasa de éxito para todas las técnicas es similar.

Abstract

In patients with urethral stricture longer than 2 cm who are not candidates for other techniques, graft urethroplasty is the most performed surgery. Currently, several techniques are used, each with their own advantages and disadvantages.

Describe the advantages and disadvantages of the surgical techniques currently used in graft urethroplasty, as well as their success rates.

A search was made in PubMed, ClinicalKey and ScienceDirect, using the keywords: “urethral stenosis,” “urethroplasty,” “oral graft” and “flap.” The most relevant original studies, systematic reviews and meta-analyzes were used, both in English and Spanish.

The different surgical techniques offer theoretical advantages compared with the others, although the success rates in all are close to 90%, without being frankly superior compared with the others.

The choice of the surgical technique to be performed depends on the preferences and experience of the surgeon, given that the success rate for all techniques is similar.
