Preoperative evaluation included uroflowmetry (UF) and the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI). Operative data, including perioperative complications and postoperative pain measured using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) on the first postoperative day, were recorded. At 6 months postoperatively, all patients underwent repeat UF and completed the FSFI, the 3 Incontinence Questions (3IQ) to assess de novo urinary incontinence, and the Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGI\u2010I) to assess subjective outcomes. Data regarding de novo coital incontinence were noted, and the need for any additional intervention due to recurrent urethral stricture was collected to determine the objective cure.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 27 patients were included, with a median age of 42 years (range: 22\u201356) and a median follow\u2010up period of 3 years (range: 6 months\u20136 years).

The median operative time was 65\u2009min (range: 45\u201390), and the median operative VAS score was 6 (range: 3\u20138). Two patients experienced Clavien\u2013Dindo Grade II complications (one vaginitis and one severe urinary urgency), and one patient experienced a Clavien\u2013Dindo Grade III complication due to bleeding at the graft harvest site, which was treated with bipolar cauterization.
