## TL;DR

This paper presents a successful case of using bilateral buccal mucosa grafts for urethral reconstruction in a patient with a long-segment urethral stricture.

## Contribution

The study introduces the use of bilateral buccal mucosa grafts as a versatile technique for urethroplasty.

## Key findings

- Bilateral buccal mucosa grafting can effectively treat long-segment urethral strictures.
- The technique offers a reliable and versatile option for urethral reconstruction.

## Abstract

Male urethral stricture is scarring of the urethral tissue that narrows the urethral lumen causing reduced urinary flow. Urethral reconstruction or substitution urethroplasty using oral mucosa graft, especially from the buccal mucosa, is one of the most widely known techniques to manage urethral stricture. However, studies using bilateral buccal mucosa are still limited. Therefore, this study aims to report our experience and technique of bilateral buccal mucosa grafting for urethroplasty. The authors described a 66-year-old man with long-segment urethral stricture that was successfully treated with urethral reconstruction harvested from bilateral buccal mucosa.
