8 cm以上复杂性尿道狭窄的外科治疗

目的探讨长段尿道狭窄手术方法的选择与疗效。方法对76例尿道狭窄8cm以上的患者采用不同尿道成形术式治疗,其中不同黏膜重建尿道42例（结肠黏膜26例,膀胱黏膜6例,口腔黏膜10例）;带蒂皮瓣一期尿道成形20例;尿道狭窄段切开、二期尿道成形（Johanson术）12例;阴茎段尿道与前列腺部尿道吻合、三期尿道成形术2例。结果术后初期（6个月内）排尿通畅67例（88％）,有并发症者10例。术后1年以上70例,其中获得随访51例,排尿通畅44例,有并发症者8例,其中采用带蒂皮瓣者发生尿道狭窄2例（18％,2／11）;Johanson术者发生阴茎弯曲2例（2／5）,其中1例成形段尿道内毛发生成和结石形成;采用口腔黏膜者发生尿道狭窄1例（1／7）,膀胱黏膜者发生尿道狭窄1例（1／3）,结肠黏膜者发生后尿道狭窄2例（9％,2／23）。结论口腔与结肠黏膜尿道成形对长段尿道狭窄是较理想的术式;结肠黏膜较适合在常规手术治疗失败后或复杂性尿道狭窄10cm以上的治疗。     

Lingual mucosal graft urethroplasty for anterior urethral reconstruction

OBJECTIVE: Evaluate the use of lingual mucosal graft (LMG) in anterior urethral strictures. METHODS: From January 2001 to December 2006, 29 men (mean age, 48.5 yr) with anterior urethral strictures underwent graft urethroplasty with LMG. The mean length of stricture was 3.6cm. Patients with bulbar, penile, or bulbopenile strictures received one-stage dorsal free graft urethroplasties. In patients with failed hypospadias repair we performed a two-stage urethroplasty. Criteria for successful reconstruction were spontaneous voiding with no postvoid residual urine and no postoperative instrumentation of any kind. Clinical assessment included the donor site morbidity. RESULTS: Mean follow-up was 17.7 mo. One-stage bulbar and penile urethroplasties without meatal involvement had an 81.8-100% success rate. Bulbopenile urethroplasties were successful in 60% of the cases, whereas one-stage urethral reconstructions in patients with meatal involvement were successful in 66.6%. The two cases of two-stage urethral reconstruction with LMG and buccal mucosal graft after failed multiple hypospadias repairs were unsuccessful. The overall early recurrence rate was 20.7%. Patients with the graft harvested from the tongue reported only slight oral discomfort at the donor site and difficulty in talking for 1 or 2 d. CONCLUSIONS: The mucosa of the tongue, which is identical to the mucosa of the rest of the oral cavity, is a safe and effective graft material in the armamentarium for urethral reconstruction with potential minor risks of donor site complications. LMG may be used alone for short strictures (<5cm) or in combination with buccal mucosa when longer grafts are needed.     

游离黏膜组织重建尿道治疗复杂性尿道狭窄的临床研究

目的 探讨利用游离黏膜一期尿道成形治疗复杂性尿道狭窄或闭锁的疗效。方法 2000年8月至2004年7月采用2种游离黏膜一期尿道成形术治疗73例复杂性尿道狭窄。术前42例已行耻骨上膀胱造瘘，余31例最大尿流率1．2～6．5ml／s。用游离结肠黏膜(n=22)重建尿道长10～18cm，平均13cm；用口腔黏膜(n=51)重建尿道长3～11cm，平均5cm。术后随访分别行逆行尿道造影及尿流率，部分患者行尿道镜检查。结果随访2～48个月，平均19个月。术后排尿通畅67例(91．8％)。发生再次狭窄4例，其中结肠黏膜重建者1例，口腔黏膜重建者3例；排尿欠畅2例，定期行尿道扩张；尿道皮肤瘘2例；结肠腹壁瘘1例。1例结肠黏膜重建尿道者术后47个月移植物活检示结肠黏膜的组织形态学基本无变化。结论口腔与结肠黏膜均可作为较理想的尿道替代物，口腔黏膜较适合狭窄段不长的尿道修复，结肠黏膜较适合复杂性超长段尿道狭窄或缺损的治疗。     

游离黏膜尿道成形治疗硬化性苔藓样病所致尿道狭窄的疗效观察

目的 提高对硬化性苔藓样病( lichen sclerosus,LS)导致尿道狭窄的认识,观察游离黏膜尿道成形治疗LS所致尿道狭窄的疗效. 方法 2007年1月-2010年12月收治LS所致前尿道狭窄患者36例,年龄27～75岁,平均41岁.尿道狭窄段长5.0 ～20.0 cm,平均11.5 cm.根据尿道狭窄段长短和严重程度选择不同的黏膜组织,其中行口腔内黏膜(舌、颊黏膜)尿道成形27例,结肠黏膜尿道成形8例,另1例老年患者行前尿道劈开.在行尿道重建术前对病变累及的阴茎头、尿道口、尿道行病理学检查. 结果 36例患者术后3周拔除导尿管,排尿通畅;活检结果提示上皮基底部特征性病变,过度角化,上皮层变薄,淋巴细胞浸润等.术后随访6 ～ 50个月,平均22个月.出现尿道外口狭窄3例(8.3％),其中口腔内黏膜尿道成形者2例,结肠黏膜重建尿道者1例,行尿道外口切开后排尿通畅.余患者术后排尿通畅,最大尿流率17.2～47.0 ml/s,平均23.4 ml/s. 结论 采用游离黏膜尿道成形治疗LS所致尿道狭窄疗效较好,但需密切随访,因病变迁延可致尿道再狭窄,尤其是尿道口再狭窄.     

Substitution urethroplasty with buccal mucosal-free grafts

PURPOSE: Buccal mucosal grafts and the Barbagli technique are recent developments in the treatment of urethral strictures. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We reviewed the results of and experience with urethroplasty using buccal mucosal graft in 128 patients. RESULTS: The re-stricture rate was 11% for patch grafts and 45% for tube grafts. There were no other complications. CONCLUSIONS: Buccal mucosal graft is at least as good as any other material for substitution urethroplasty with fewer complications. The 2-stage is more reliable than the stage 1 approach for circumferential reconstruction of the urethra.     

One-stage circumferential buccal mucosa graft urethroplasty for bulbous stricture repair

A one-stage onlay urethroplasty, using a buccal mucosa graft, is presented for patients with bulbous strictures in whom the urethral mucosa is seriously involved in the disease. Of 40 patients who underwent a dorsal buccal mucosa graft urethroplasty for bulbous urethral strictures, 5 required complete removal of the urethral mucosa and its replacement by a buccal mucosa graft. All these patients had undergone previous urethrotomy with a false passage inside the bulbous urethra and had a suprapubic tube in place. The goal of removal and replacement of the urethral mucosa in each case was to create a new, wide urethral mucosal bed to promote successful one-stage reconstruction. All patients voided spontaneously without problems after removal of the catheter. After 4 months, the mean peak flow was 21 mL/s. After 6 months, urethroscopy did not show any stricture recurrence. None of the patients required instrumentation or dilation. In patients with bulbous urethral strictures and false passage into the mucosa and spongiosum tissues, the complete removal and replacement of the urethral mucosa using a circumferential buccal mucosa graft promotes successful one-stage urethral reconstruction.     

The use of lingual mucosal graft in adult anterior urethroplasty: surgical steps and short-term outcome

OBJECTIVES: Investigate the tolerability, safety, and efficacy of using the lingual mucosal graft (LMG) for anterior urethroplasty. METHODS: Ten patients (average age, 41 yr) underwent substitution urethroplasty LMG. Harvesting the graft from the tongue was performed by either the oral surgeon or the urologist. In five patients with penile urethral strictures, the grafts were placed on the dorsal urethral surface as a "dorsal inlay." In five patients with bulbar urethral strictures, the grafts were used as a "dorsal inlay" (3 cases) or "ventral onlay" (2 cases). The average follow-up was 5 mo (range: 3-12 mo). RESULTS: Nine cases (90%) were successful and one (10%) was a failure. Three patients who underwent bulbar urethroplasty showed prior failed repair using buccal mucosal grafts harvested from a single cheek (1 case), from both cheeks (1 case), or from the lip (1 case). The length of the lingual grafts was 4-6cm (mean: 4.5cm) with a width of 2.5cm. No patient developed early or late postoperative complications on the harvest site related to the tongue surgery. No difference was observed in patients in whom the graft harvesting was performed by the oral surgeon compared to the patients in whom the procedure was performed by the urologist. CONCLUSIONS: The surgical technique for harvesting a graft from the tongue is simple and safe. The tongue may be the best alternative donor site to the lip when a thin graft is required for urethroplasty or when the cheek harvesting is not possible.     

Changing practice in anterior urethroplasty

OBJECTIVE: To describe our experience of penile urethral repair and reconstruction, cataloguing the change in practice from one-stage flap to two-stage free graft procedures for anterior urethroplasty. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Between January 1992 and December 1996, 79 patients underwent anterior urethroplasty. Of the 45 one-stage bulbar patch urethroplasties, 37 (76%) used buccal mucosal free grafts rather than flaps. Of the 34 penile urethroplasties, 26 (82%) (including all of the circumferential reconstructions) were two-stage procedures. RESULTS: Buccal mucosal free grafts were at least as good as local skin flaps for patch urethroplasty and two-stage repairs gave much better results than one-stage repairs for total circumferential reconstruction of the penile urethra. CONCLUSIONS: For a patch urethroplasty of an uncomplicated stricture in the bulbar urethra, buccal mucosal free grafts are now the material of choice. For a patch urethroplasty of an uncomplicated stricture in the penile urethra the Orandi procedure remains the 'gold standard'. For a circumferential repair of the urethra, particularly the penile urethra, a two-stage repair using a free graft gives better results than a one-stage repair using a flap.     

Buccal mucosal urethroplasty: a versatile technique for all urethral segments

OBJECTIVE: To present our experience with buccal mucosa urethroplasty for substitution of all segments of the anterior urethra, as the buccal mucosal graft (BMG) has emerged as the tissue of choice for single-stage reconstruction of bulbar urethral strictures, but its use for reconstructing meatal, pendulous and pan-urethral strictures has not been widely reported. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Between January 1998 and October 2003, 92 patients had a BMG substitution urethroplasty at our institution; 75 had a single-stage dorsal onlay BMG urethroplasty (bulbar 41, pendulous 16 and pan-urethral 18; six combined penile skin flap and BMG) and 17 (pendulous five, pan-urethral 10, bulbar two) a two-stage urethroplasty. Recurrence rates, complications and cosmetic outcomes were analysed retrospectively. RESULTS: Over a median (range) follow-up of 34 (8-72) months, 66 (88%) patients with a one-stage reconstruction (14/16 pendulous; 37/41, 90%, bulbar; 15/16 pan-urethral) remained stricture-free. The mean (range) time to recurrence was 9.4 (3-17) months. Of the nine recurrent strictures, six were managed by one-stage optical urethrotomy and three required a repeat urethroplasty. In patients who had a staged procedure, after a mean follow-up of 24.2 (9-56) months, one had complete graft loss, requiring re-grafting, five required stomal revision after stage 1, and only two (12%) developed a recurrent stricture after the two-stage urethroplasty. CONCLUSION: A one-stage dorsal onlay BMG urethroplasty provides excellent results for strictures involving any segment of the anterior urethra. The BMG appears to be the most versatile urethral substitute, as it can be successfully used for both one- and two-stage reconstruction of the entire anterior urethra.     

The Barbagli procedure gives the best results for patch urethroplasty of the bulbar urethra

OBJECTIVE: To compare the surgical outcome using buccal mucosal free grafts in the Barbagli procedure (dorsal stricturotomy and patch technique) with the traditional ventral approach, for long bulbar urethral strictures. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Over a period of 6 years, a total of 71 patients with bulbar urethral strictures underwent buccal mucosal graft urethroplasty. Twenty-nine patients had a traditional ventral urethroplasty and 42 were managed by the Barbagli procedure with the stricturotomy and patch on the dorsal aspect of the urethra. RESULTS: At 5 years of follow-up 5% of patients who underwent the Barbagli procedure developed recurrent strictures, compared to 14% in the traditional ventral stricturotomy group. All patients developed postmicturition dribble of urine to some degree, which was troublesome in 17% in the Barbagli group and 21% in the ventral stricturotomy group. Complications attributable to out-pouching of the graft were not seen in either group. CONCLUSIONS: The dorsal stricturotomy and patch (Barbagli) procedure had a higher success rate than the traditional ventral urethroplasty. Comparing these results with our experience of skin inlay urethroplasty, buccal mucosal grafts seem to have advantages however they are used.     

Buccal mucosal urethroplasty: is it the new gold standard?

Whilst techniques for urethral reconstruction have developed in the past few decades the quest for an ideal substitute continues. We critically review the literature on buccal mucosal grafts for substitution urethroplasty, to determine the efficacy and complications arising from its use. Buccal mucosal grafts have proved to be a versatile substitute for strictures attributable to a wide range of causes. Placing the graft dorsally appears to be more successful than ventrally and was successful in 96% of cases; after treating complex urethral strictures with two-stage procedures about a quarter of patients required a revision after the first stage with fewer complications then when skin was used as a substitute. Thus, buccal mucosa is most likely to become the new gold standard for substitution urethroplasty and longer term results with its use are eagerly awaited.     

Oral mucosal grafts urethroplasty for the treatment of long segmented anterior urethral strictures

Objective  To evaluate the efficacy and safety of using oral mucosal grafts for urethroplasty in the treatment of complex segmented urethral strictures. Methods  Between January 2002 and January 2008, 25 cases of long or multi-segmented urethral strictures (10–18 cm, mean 11.72) were treated using combined two oral mucosal graft urethroplasty. Of the 25 patients, combined double buccal mucosal graft (BMG) urethroplasty was performed in nine patients, double lingual mucosal graft (LMG) urethroplasty in seven patients and combined lingual and buccal mucosal graft urethroplasty in nine patients. Results  Follow-up was obtained for 6–72 months (mean 26.83) post-operatively. Urethrocutaneous fistulas developed in two patients. Urethral strictures developed in one patient undergoing BMG urethroplasty; the patient underwent five urethral dilations, after which he voided well with a urinary peak flow of 26.4 ml/s. Meatal stenosis developed in one patient undergoing LMG and a second operation was required, after which the patient voided well (urinary peak flow of 28.7 ml/s). The other patients voided well and urinary peak flow rates ranged from 16.8 to 49.2 ml/s (mean 28.65 ml/s). Conclusion  Combined two oral mucosal grafts substitution urethroplasty is an effective technique for the treatment of long, segmented urethral strictures.     

复杂性尿道下裂修复失败后的治疗

目的 探讨不同游离黏膜、带蒂皮瓣或二种组织拼接尿道成形术治疗复杂性尿道下裂修复失败后病例的效果.方法 采用3种游离黏膜或带蒂阴茎皮瓣尿道成形治疗尿道下裂修复失败后患者36例,其中带蒂阴茎皮瓣尿道成形7例,舌黏膜与阴茎皮瓣拼接重建尿道3例.结肠黏膜重建尿道2例,1条舌黏膜重建尿道9例,1条颊黏膜重建尿道7例,采用2条口腔内黏膜拼接重建尿道8例.阴茎用弹力绷带包扎4 d,每天用抗生素液冲洗尿道1次.结果 36例术后随访3～84个月,平均32.6个月.术后2～3周发牛尿瘘4例.术后2～3个月新尿道发生狭窄3例,其中吻合口狭窄1例.经尿道扩张5次后排尿通畅;尿道外口狭窄2例,经手术矫正后均排尿通畅,Q_(max)分别为37.3和28.7 ml/s.余者排尿通畅,尿线粗,Q_(max) 18.0～46.0 ml/s,平均26.8 ml/s.结论 舌黏膜与颊黏膜具有取材方便、创伤小的特点,较适合于尿道下裂修复失败后皮源少患者的尿道重建.     

A comparison of one-stage procedures for post-traumatic urethral stricture repair

OBJECTIVE: To compare the results and complication rates of various one-stage treatments for repairing a post-traumatic urethral stricture. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The medical records of 153 patients who had a post-traumatic urethral stricture repaired between 1977 and 2003 were evaluated retrospectively, and analysed for the different types of urethral reconstruction. RESULTS: The procedures included direct end-to-end anastomosis in 86 (56%) patients, free dorsal onlay graft urethroplasty using preputial or inguinal skin in 40 (26%), ventral onlay urethroplasty using buccal mucosa in seven (5%) and ventral fasciocutaneous flaps on a vascular pedicle in 20 (13%). At a mean (median, range) follow-up of 75.2 (38, 12-322) months, 121 (79%) patients had no evidence of recurrent stricture, while in 32 men (21%) they were detected at a mean follow-up of 30.47 (1-96) months. Patients having a dorsal onlay urethroplasty had the longest strictures. The re-stricture rate was lowest after a dorsal onlay urethroplasty (5% vs 27% when treated with end-to-end anastomosis, 15% after fasciocutaneous flaps and 57% after a ventral buccal mucosal graft). The surgical technique used had no effect on postoperative incontinence or erectile dysfunction rates. CONCLUSION: In patients with strictures which are too long to be excised and re-anastomosed, tension-free dorsal onlay urethroplasty is better than ventral graft or flap techniques. In patients with short urethral strictures direct end-to-end anastomosis remains an option for the one-stage repair of urethral stricture.

目的 观察结肠黏膜尿道成形术治疗复杂性超长段尿道狭窄的长期效果和影响因素. 方法 2000年10月至2009年9月采用结肠黏膜尿道成形治疗复杂性超长段尿道狭窄46例.年龄17 ～70岁,平均39岁.尿道狭窄段长10.0～20.0 cm,平均15.2 cm.术前有平均2.7次不成功的尿道修复史.通过定期门诊或电话随访进行术后疗效评估,包括排尿情况和尿流率检查,部分患者行尿道造影和尿道镜检查等.以不需要任何处理包括尿道扩张,能正常排尿,尿流率在正常范围内者视为手术成功. 结果 结肠黏膜重建尿道的长度为11.0～21.0 cm,平均15.4 cm.1例失访,余45例随访20～120个月,平均62个月.发生与手术相关的并发症4例(8.9％),其中3例于术后3、8和24个月发生尿道外口狭窄,1例术后29个月发生结肠黏膜新尿道与尿道近端吻合口狭窄.另2例发生与结肠黏膜尿道成形术无关的尿道狭窄. 结论 结肠黏膜尿道成形术治疗复杂性超长段尿道狭窄术后长期效果理想;影响术后效果的因素是尿道口狭窄和吻合口狭窄.     

Substitution urethroplasty for anterior urethral strictures: a critical appraisal of various techniques

OBJECTIVE: To retrospectively compare the outcome of various techniques of substitution urethroplasty. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Between 1989 and 2000, 109 patients (mean age 39.5 years) underwent substitution urethroplasty for recurrent anterior urethral strictures. Between 1989 and 1995 the procedure was by ventral placement of free grafts (bladder mucosa, buccal mucosa, penile skin) or penile skin flaps. From 1995 onwards the flaps and grafts (buccal mucosa) were applied either ventrally or dorsally. Stricture recurrence and the complications associated with each technique were compared. RESULTS: Ventral onlay repairs were associated with a higher incidence of complications than dorsal repairs, e.g. postvoid dribbling (39% vs 23%, P = 0.01), ejaculatory dysfunction (20% vs 5%, P = 0.03) and flap/graft pseudo-diverticulum or out-pouching (26% vs 2.6%, P = 0.01). Superficial penile skin necrosis was significantly more common with the use of penile skin flaps than with free grafts. There was no significant difference in stricture recurrence, erectile dysfunction and residual penile deformity among the various techniques. CONCLUSIONS: Dorsal free graft/flap onlay urethroplasty gives better results than ventrally placed free grafts/flaps. Dorsal onlay buccal mucosal urethroplasty is a versatile procedure and associated with fewer complications than other substitution methods.     

Urethroplasty in female-to-male transsexuals

OBJECTIVE: Female-to-male transformation includes total phallic reconstruction. Construction of a neourethra is necessary to achieve the goal of voiding while standing; however urethral fistula and stricture formation occur in a significant percentage of patients. METHODS: 25 patients with primary female transsexualism underwent phalloplasty with a free radial forearm flap, vaginectomy and urethroplasty in a one-stage procedure. In 16 of these patients the fixed part of the neourethra ("bulbar urethra") was constructed from a vaginal flap. In 9 patients flaps of the labia minora (5 patients) or the "urethral plate" (4 patients) were used. RESULTS: In 14 (58%) patients fistulas and/or strictures in the newly constructed urethra occurred. 11 (69%) of 16 patients in whom the "bulbar urethra" was constructed from a vaginal flap experienced fistulas and/or stricture formation. Fistulas and/or strictures occurred in 3 of 5 patients with labia minora flaps and none of 4 patients with the urethral plate procedure. Repair of fistula and strictures was performed by primary closure of fistulas, staged urethroplasty with local pedicle flaps or distant tissue grafts using buccal mucosa (2-6 procedures). CONCLUSION: One-stage total phalloplasty and urethroplasty is associated with a significant rate of fistulas and strictures. However, these complications can be corrected by the techniques used in modern urethral surgery.     

影响口腔黏膜尿道成形治疗复杂性尿道狭窄疗效的相关因素

目的：探讨口腔黏膜尿道成形治疗复杂性尿道狭窄影响疗效的相关因素。方法：对采用口腔黏膜替代尿道成形术76例患者的尿道狭窄位置与长度、口腔黏膜宽度、术前手术次数、支架管留置时间等与狭窄复发率进行单因素分析。结果：76例随访3～60个月，平均24．1个月，术后初期排尿通畅61例（80．3％）；再次狭窄15例，其中3例同时伴尿道皮肤瘘，4例伴尿道假性憩室。2例经数次尿道扩张、8例再次手术后排尿通畅，总成功率为93．4％。结论：尿道狭窄复发率与黏膜宽度明显相关（P〈0．05）。在0．8～2．0cm范围内口腔黏膜条越宽，尿道狭窄发生率越低；狭窄长度与术前手术次数对短期狭窄复发率无明显影响。     

New frontiers in urethral reconstruction: injectables and alternative grafts

Contemporary management of anterior urethral strictures requires both endoscopic as well as complex substitution urethroplasty, depending on the nature of the urethral stricture. Recent clinical and experimental studies have explored the possibility of augmenting traditional endoscopic urethral stricture management with anti-fibrotic injectable medications. Additionally, although buccal mucosa remains the gold standard graft for substitution urethroplasty, alternative grafts are necessary for reconstructing particularly complex urethral strictures in which there is insufficient buccal mucosa or in cases where it may be contraindicated. This review summarizes the data of the most promising injectable adjuncts to endoscopic stricture management and explores the alternative grafts available for reconstructing the most challenging urethral strictures. Further research is needed to define which injectable medications and alternative grafts may be best suited for urethral reconstruction in the future.
