Dermal Patch Urethroplasty: Experimental and Clinical Experience

Abstract
A dermal patch graft urethroplasty is presented in 10 Pitman-Moore mini-pigs. Histologic review at various post-urethroplasty intervals showed epithelialization of the graft. Several human cases in which this technique was used are presented with early follow-up. The advantages of dermal patch urethroplasty and the application of dermal grafts in other areas of the urinary tract are discussed.
