Introduction: To describe our minimally invasive hybrid technique for treating pan-anterior urethral stricture. Patients and Methods: From February 2009 through November 2011, 12 patients with pan-anterior urethral stricture were operated on in our unit. The bulbospongiosus muscle was mobilized on one side, and a 2.5-cm dorsolateral bulbar urethrotomy was made. A full-thickness cold knife optical internal urethrotomy was made to reach the corpus cavernosum as graft bed. A 14- to 16-cm-long, 15- to 16-mm-wide buccal/lingual mucosa graft was harvested and sutured dorsally at the site of urethrotomy, and then distally at the meatus along with meatoplasty. Results: The mean operating time was 91.66 min. The average hospital stay was 2.4 days. The Foley catheter was removed after 3 weeks. The mean Q(max) preoperatively and postoperatively was 5.5 +/- 1.87 and 18.83 +/- 2.04 ml/s, respectively. Our mean follow-up was 18.5 +/- 6.92 (6-32) months. Conclusions: Our hybrid technique provides good short-term results while promoting minimal urethral mobilization and graft vascularity.
