Augmented Anastomotic Urethroplasty
Augmented anastomotic urethroplasty combines the principles of excision with partial urethral transection and augmentation using an oral mucosal graft to bridge a longer stricture than could be managed by pure EPA alone. The stricture segment is excised, the urethra is partially spatulated, and a graft is onlaid at the anastomotic site to relieve tension and widen the lumen. This hybrid approach extends the length of stricture amenable to anastomotic repair.
