For buccal mucosal graft urethroplasty, nasal or oral endotracheal intubation anesthesia
is used for harvesting the graft from the oral cavity. A technique of graft harvesting
under local anesthesia using 2% lidocaine solution with adrenaline (1:200 000) is
described. This method requires a cooperative patient but saves the morbidity of general
anesthesia.
