description The paper presents the technique of the reconstruction of the bulbar and membranous urethra in the occurrence of strictures and sphincter-stenosis. The method uses an autologous graft and has potential advantages over the bulboprostatic anastomosis. Objective. To develop a method of helping patients with existing urethral anastomoses, with a damaged neck of the bladder and a risk of subsequent incontinence, wishing to maintain the erectile function. Materials and methods. 35 patients underwent 36 reconstructions of the urethra from August 2013 to July 2017, 11 - after previous urethral plastics, 14 - after prostate surgery (4 - after radical prostatectomy), 7 - suffered from a urethral distraction defect. The age of the patients was 58.17 ± 12.2 years. The median follow-up period was 525 (341; 813) days. The average length of urethral strictures was 15 (10; 15) mm. The average diameter of the urethra in the stricture zone was 1.4 ± 0.56 mm. Reconstruction with the use of a buccal mucosa graft is performed intraurethrally through corpus spongiosum using magnifying optics. Results. The overall efficacy of the primary reconstruction in 35 patients was 94.2 %; the repeated reconstruction in two patients was successful. All patients underwent the comprehensive monitoring of the results, the average follow-up period was 654 days, the average relapse-free period was 447 days. All patients preserved continence and erectile function Conclusion. The proposed technique showed a high efficiency in reconstruction of the bulbar and membranous urethra.
