Fistula and stricture formation at the site of sutured anastomoses are frequent complications of major urethroplasty. We performed urethroplasty using laser-welded skin tube grafts in the hope that in addition to being free of suture holes, grafts would be as strong as or stronger than sutured controls. STUDY DESIGN/MATERIAL AND METHODS: Scrotal skin was harvested from each of 11 rabbits and fashioned into tubes 3-4 cm in length using either conventional suture techniques or laser welding. Welding was performed using an 808-nm diode laser and a dye-enhanced solder composed of albumin and sodium hyaluronate. Laser power density was 15.9 watts/cm2. For each graft, leak pressure, and urethroplasty time (tube creation and anastomosis to native urethra) were measured.
