Sténoses urétrales chez l'enfant: traitement par urétroplastie avec greffon de muqueuse vésicale ou buccale [Urethral stenosis in children: treatment using urethroplasty with a vesical or oral mucosal graft]

Urethral strictures are rare in children and correspond to either congenital membranes, post-traumatic (endoscopy). The precise diagnosis is obtained by voiding cystometrography at the end of urography or by retrograde opacification. Congenital membranes should be treated by dilatation and limited strictures should be treated by urethrotomy. The other cases warrant urethroplasty with a free vesical or oral mucosal flap. Good results are obtained in about 90% of cases
