About
Stephen Blakely is a reconstructive urologist whose work focuses on the most challenging complications of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) surgery. His primary research area centers on the surgical management of bladder neck contracture and prostatic urethral obliteration—rare but devastating outcomes that can leave patients with complete urinary outlet obstruction. Blakely’s major contribution lies in advancing complex reconstructive techniques, most notably the robotic-assisted combined buccal mucosal graft and advancement bladder flap procedure for treating long-segment prostatic urethral obliteration. His 2023 paper on this innovative approach, which has already garnered 2 citations, describes a sophisticated alternative to traditional urethral "pull-through" or excision methods, offering hope for patients with otherwise untreatable conditions. By integrating buccal mucosal grafting with robotic precision, Blakely has expanded the reconstructive toolkit for urologists facing these formidable cases. His work exemplifies the cutting edge of minimally invasive urologic reconstruction, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in restoring urinary function after surgical complications.
