Combined dorsal and ventral onlay augmentation for bul¬bar urethral reconstruction. Nontraumatic near-obliterative bulbar urethral strictures (BUS) of \<2 cm in length can be managed with non-transecting anastomotic bulbar urethroplasty or augmented anastomotic urethroplasty. However, if the obliterative stricture segment is \>2 cm and the urethral caliber is \<6F, augmentation with a single graft may not be sufficient. We present our initial experience with the double-face augmentation urethroplasty technique using buccal mucosal graft for near-obliterative bulbar urethral strictures through ventral or one-sided dorsal perineal approach and the analysis of the short-term outcomes of this technique.
