Main Article Content
Abstract
Urethroplasty is the standard surgical approach for managing urethral strictures, yet its impact on postoperative sexual function remains a subject of clinical importance. This study aimed to assess sexual outcomes in male patients undergoing different types of urethroplasty, including end-to-end anastomosis, buccal mucosa grafting, and penile skin flap techniques. Using validated questionnaires such as the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5), sexual satisfaction and functional outcomes were evaluated over a 12-month follow-up. The findings reveal that while most patients maintain or regain baseline sexual function, technique-specific variations exist, with buccal mucosa grafts showing favorable results in preserving erectile function.
