Zusammenfassung:To review the outcome of bulbar urethroplasty using two stage surgical techniques. Twenty-two of the 35 patients studied corresponded to end-to-end urethroplasty (ATT) and 13 to dorsal onlay graft (DOG) in preputial skin or oral mucosa variants. Clinical outcome was considered a failure when postoperative surgery was needed or the uroflowmetry was less than 15ml/s. The following variables were studied: age, previous surgery, number of urethrotomies and stricture length. The curves and log-rank Curves using the log-rank were elaborated for follow-up and comparison, with the Cox regression model for risk factors. Mean follow-up was 40.02 months. Of all the cases. 85.71% were successful. Of these, 86.36% were in the ATT group and 84.61% in the DOG group. There were no significant differences in the comparative LR test based in stricture length, previous surgery between both group and individualized for each management. The Cox regression model showed a risk of failure in the technique for the elderly patients (OR 2.2), it not achieving statistical significance in the remaining variables. The success rate achieved with the ATT technique is verified a gold standard option in short strictures. The DOG is shown as a valid option in long strictures in bulbar urethral in medium follow-up, using a oral mucosa or preputial onlay graft. More long-term follow-up must be performed with a greater number of patients to better evaluate these results.
