Key Publications​

Terlecki's cited work covers stricture location and the choice between excision and grafting in bulbar urethroplasty, urethral rest before anterior urethroplasty, and revision strategies for the artificial urinary sphincter.P1P2P3

  1. Terlecki RP, Steele MC, Valadez C, Morey AF. "Grafts are unnecessary for proximal bulbar reconstruction." J Urol. 2010;184(6):2395–2399. doi

    Excision and primary anastomosis in the proximal bulb (2010). Led a single-surgeon review of 112 bulbar urethroplasties: all 72 proximal bulbar strictures were treated by excision and primary anastomosis with 1 recurrence (1.4%), and among intermediate-length strictures recurrence was 3.0% after excision and primary anastomosis vs 38% after graft repair.

  2. Terlecki RP, Steele MC, Valadez C, Morey AF. "Urethral rest: role and rationale in preparation for anterior urethroplasty." Urology. 2011;77(6):1477–1481. doi

    Urethral rest before anterior urethroplasty (2011). Of 128 anterior urethroplasties, 28 men first had a median 3 months of urethral rest after recent manipulation; 75% then underwent focal or complete excision, and recurrence (14%) was similar to the rest of the cohort (10%).
