  "abstract": "We report the case of a 42-year-old man who developed a 6 cm near-obliterative bulbar and membranous urethral stricture after radiation for primary urethral squamous cell carcinoma. Reconstruction was performed using a combination of membranous scar excision and a double-faced buccal mucosal graft urethroplasty. Cystourethroscopy at 4 months demonstrated a widely patent urethra, and the AUA Symptom Score improved from 25 before surgery to 3 at three years. Urethroplasty after radiation for urethral cancer has not been previously well described. This case suggests single-stage urethroplasty is a feasible option for reconstruction of urethral strictures after radiation for urethral cancer.",
