[AUGMENTED ONLAY BUCCAL MUCOSAL GRAFT URETEROPLASTY FOR URETERAL STRICTURE: A CASE REPORT].

A 14-year-old boy developed hydronephrosis and worsening renal function due to fibroepithelial polyps of the bladder and left ureter at the age of 12 years. The endoscopic treatment of ureteral polyps was attempted by his previous doctor; however urethral stricture and ureteral stricture developed and was untreatable. Therefore, he was referred to our hospital for further reconstructive treatment. He underwent Palminteri urethroplasty with penile skin graft for urethral stricture at the age of 13 years, followed by ureteroplasty at the age of 14 years. The stenotic ureter was minimally resected, with only complete obstruction and residual polyps, and augmented onlay ureteroplasty with a buccal mucosa graft was performed. Nephrostomy was removed 13 days after surgery, followed by the ureteral stent 4 months after surgery. Retrograde pyelography and ureteroscopy were performed 1 year and 2 years postoperatively, and neither recurrent strictures nor polyps were observed. The patient is doing well 3 years postoperatively.
