Alloplastic replacement of the partially resected canine urethra by expanded polytetrafluoroethylene grafts. Preliminary results. 1979

K Dreikorn, and J Löbelenz, and R Horsch, and L Röhl

In 12 male dogs 3-8 cm of the penile urethra were resected and replaced by expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (GORE-TEX) grafts. Follow-up consisted of periodic urethrograms. Maximum observation time has been 12 months. Up to now, no major complications were noted. Tissue reactions were minimal and patency of all grafts was demonstrated during the follow-up period.
