BMG Urethroplasty

BMG Urethroplasty in Mukundapur

Buccal Mucosal Graft Urethroplasty, or BMG Urethroplasty, is a surgical procedure through which the urethra is reconstructed primarily in patients with urethral stricture disease. It involves the use of a tissue graft from inside the patient’s cheek, called buccal mucosa, to repair or reconstruct the narrowed segment of the urethra.

What is BMG Urethroplasty?

The urethra is a small tube which helps in draining urine from the bladder. It can get damaged due to trauma, injury or any other reason, thereby restricting flow of urine and semen in men. This condition is called urethral stricture. 
BMG urethroplasty is a procedure performed to repair or reconstruct urethral strictures. It is done by using a buccal mucosa graft from the inside of the patient’s cheek or lip, usually 4-6 cm long. The inner lining of the cheek is mostly used, as it has good blood supply, is easy to harvest and heals quickly. Its non-hairy nature makes it ideal to integrate with the urinary tract.

Benefits of BMG Urethroplasty

BMG urethroplasty offers a range of benefits, such as:

  • High success rate: Majority of the patients have experienced significant health benefits following the procedure, which is why it has a high success rate.   

  • Low risk of re-occurrence: Chances of re-occurrence of stricture is significantly low following BMG urethroplasty. 

  • Improved urinary flow: Patients have reported improved urinary flow after the procedure.

  • Long-lasting results: The buccal mucosa graft integrates well with the urethral tissue that lasts for years and even a lifetime. 

  • Minimal donor site discomfort: Patients may experience slight discomfort in the donor site, but it will heal within 1-2 weeks.
