Abstract
Full thickness skin graft urethroplasties (22) were performed [in humans] for treatment of urethral stricture disease or hypospadias. Excellent results were achieved in 18 cases in which a penile skin donor site was used. Three failures occurred in 4 cases in which the full thickness graft was raised from the inner aspect of the upper arm. Caution should be taken when extrapenile skin is used for such repairs.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
