Transforming Lives with BMG Urethroplasty
BMG Urethroplasty is a surgical procedure used to repair urethral strictures (narrowing of the urethra) by using a graft from the buccal mucosa—the inner lining of the cheek or lower lip. This technique is considered the gold standard for complex or long-segment urethral strictures that cannot be managed effectively with dilation or internal urethrotomy.
During the procedure, a surgeon harvests a strip of mucosal tissue from the patient's mouth and then transplants it to the narrowed section of the urethra. The graft helps widen the urethral passage and restore normal urinary flow. BMG urethroplasty can be done as onlay, inlay, or tubularized grafting, depending on the location and extent of the stricture.
It offers long-term success rates exceeding 85–90%, making it a durable solution, especially for anterior urethral strictures.

The typical steps involved in BMG Urethroplasty
Preoperative Assessment:
-
Uroflowmetry, retrograde urethrogram, and urethroscopy to define the stricture.
-
Oral examination to ensure suitable graft site.
-
General health and anesthesia fitness evaluation.
Anesthesia & Positioning:
-
General anesthesia is used.
-
Patient is placed in lithotomy or supine position depending on stricture location.
Graft Harvesting:
-
Buccal mucosa is carefully harvested from the inner cheek or lip.
-
The area is closed with absorbable sutures.
Urethral Exposure:
-
The urethra is dissected and opened at the stricture site.
Graft Placement:
-
Graft is sewn into the urethral defect (onlay, inlay, or tubular graft).
-
The surgical site is closed with a catheter left in place.
Postoperative Care:
-
Catheter remains for 2–3 weeks.
-
Oral and wound care instructions given.
-
Follow-up imaging (urethrogram) before catheter removal.
