Urethral reconstruction using oral mucosal fragments

The patient is Mr. NQK (29 years old), admitted to the hospital with symptoms of difficulty urinating and prolonged orchitis. After successfully treating the inflammation, Mr. K. still complained of difficulty urinating. Doctors discovered that Mr. K. had a 4-5cm narrowing of the penile urethra. This is a complicated and difficult-to-treat condition, seriously affecting urinary function.

Doctors are performing urethral reconstruction surgery on a patient.

Faced with a case that could not be treated by conventional cutting and connecting methods, the team of the Department of Urology - Andrology, Nguyen Trai Hospital decided to apply the technique of reconstructing the urethra (urinary tract) using a piece of oral mucosa. This is a technique that requires meticulousness, delicacy and high professional capacity of the surgeon.

A piece of oral mucosa was carefully removed, processed, and grafted onto the narrowed urethra to reconstruct a new duct. After surgery, the patient's condition stabilized and the recovery process was positive.
