Biopsy specimens of buccal mucosae were grouped according to the macroscopic appearance after dissection: Group 1 \u2013 yellowish appearance (minimal dissection), Group 2 \u2013 whitish appearance (more aggressive dissection), and Group 3 \u2013 translucent appearance (ultra-aggressive dissection). The biopsy specimens were evaluated using histomorphometric techniques. The thicknesses of the graft, epithelium, and sub-epithelial connective tissue were compared. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Results:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; The samples from Group 3 and Groups 2 and 3 presented lower total and lower sub-epithelial connective tissue thickness, respectively, when compared with Group 1. The epithelial thickness was not affected by the dissection method. Muscular and adipose tissues were present in 77 and 55% of samples from Group 1, respectively, whereas these were observed in 44 and 22% of samples from Group 2 respectively. The muscular tissue was observed in 11% of the cases, and the adipose tissue was not observed in samples prepared with ultra-aggressive dissection. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Conclusion:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; We conclude that an intermediate graft dissection (whitish appearance, as performed in Group 2) presents the best balance between subepithelial connective tissue preservation and adipose and muscle tissue removal.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000488805","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,6,12]],"date-time":"2018-06-12T21:01:29Z","timestamp":1528837289000},"page":"397-401","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["What Is the Best Way to Prepare A Buccal Mucosa Graft for Urethroplasty?
