Female Pelvic Reconstruction and The Role of Buccal Mucosal Graft-Female Pelvic Reconstruction And The Role of Buccal Mucosal Graft

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the video, Dr. Gareth Warren discusses female pelvic reconstruction and the role of the buckled mucosal graft. He explains that buckled mucosal graft, typically taken from the inner lining of the cheek, is a well-established tissue substitute for urethral reconstruction in both male and female patients. Dr. Warren highlights the historical timeline of oral mucosal grafts and their use in various medical specialties. He then focuses on the use of buckled mucosal graft specifically in female pelvic reconstruction and the treatment of female urethral strictures. He explains that female urethral stricture disease is relatively rare and often overlooked or underdiagnosed due to its nonspecific and variable symptoms. Dr. Warren discusses the diagnostic process and the importance of cystoscopy in identifying urethral strictures in females. He explains that buccal mucosal graft urethroplasty has a high success rate of 94% in female patients with urethral strictures. He also mentions other potential uses of buccal mucosal grafts in female pelvic reconstruction, such as fistula repair and vaginal tissue augmentation. Dr. Warren concludes by emphasizing the feasibility, safety, and effectiveness of buccal mucosal graft urethroplasty in female patients.
