This study was conducted to present our experience in urethral mucosal graft urethroplasty to repair urethral stricture, as the first experience in our context.
This is a prospective hospital-based study that had been designed to review management outcomes of buccal mucosal graft urethroplasty for anterior urethral stricture from January 2017 to January 2019.

Pain and pain combined bleeding from internal suture lines were the only early complication encountered in 50 (83.3%) and 2 (3.3%) patients, respectively. late complications occurred as follows 14 (23.3%) patients had UTI, 12 (20%) had wound infections, 8 (13.3%) had changes in ejaculation, and decrease in intensity of orgasm, and 6 (10%) had erectile dysfunction.
