Abstract
BACKGROUND: Vulvar Paget's disease (VPD) is a rare malignant disorder originating in the external genitalia. It occasionally invades into urethral or vaginal mucosa of female, making surgical treatment more complicating. In case of urethral invasion of Paget's cells, systematic mapping biopsy of urethral mucosa is the standard of care to determine the range of surgical resection. Resection of urethral mucosa and simple skin grafting often result in urethral stricture after surgery, which severely deteriorates patient's quality of life. CASE PRESENTATION: We applied a new technique of advancement urethral meatoplasty using buccal mucosa, in two Japanese cases of VPD with urethral invasion. After broad resection of vulvar skin together with the urethral mucosa, buccal mucosa was implanted between advanced urethral mucosa and skin graft. In both cases, we could prevent urethral stricture one year and two years after surgery, respectively. CONCLUSION: This technique prevented urethral stricture after surgery and could be a useful technique as part of urethroplasty for VPD.
