Sumario:INTRODUCTION: We present two case reports of patients with recurrent stricture of the urethra. We used Surgisis(®) for reconstruction. CASE PRESENTATION: In these two case reports, we show the positive results of reconstructive surgery with Surgisis(®) as an alternative surgical approach to common onlay patch surgery of the urethra performed on two Caucasian patients: a 48-year-old man and a 55-year-old man. CONCLUSION: Compared to buccal mucosa flap or foreskin graft surgeries for urethral reconstruction, reconstructive surgery with Surgisis(®) is considered a relevant therapeutic alternative because of the shorter operation time and the preventable surgery of the buccal cavity or foreskin.
