The Authors report their experience in the new urethroplasty technique by Barbagli for penile and bulbar urethral strictures. This procedure involves a free skin graft sutured to the corpora cavernosa. With this dorsal approach mechanical weakening is virtually impossible, so pseudo-diverticulum or urethrocele cannot develop. We adopted this technique in 5 patients during the last 12 months. The strictures of the urethra were 2.5 to 8 cm long. The follow-up, even thought short, show that this technique is safe and quite simple.
