Abstract
- In a 73 year old male patient with multiple urethral strictures, we performed urethral replacement with Gore-Tex(Polytetrafluoroethylene) graft about l0cm long. On a follow up, 5 months later, operative field was reexplored due to pains and we found that urethral regeneration was complete around the Gore-Tex graft while the graft itself was remaining inside the urethral lumen in a freely detached state. After the removal of Core- Tex graft, patient could void in a normal fashion quite satisfactory. We think that urethral replacement graft with Gore-Tex should be given a consideration as a last resort.
