Abstract
The use of buccal mucosa graft urethroplasty (BMGU) for bulbar urethral strictures has gained widespread popularity since the first report in 1996. Over the last two decades, there have been many modifications in the surgical technique. This, along with better understanding of urethral anatomy, has allowed the BMG to become the ‘gold standard’ in urethral substitution. The present article reviews the evolution and techniques of BMGU in order to answer the question – how do we optimise the use of BMGs?
