小肠黏膜下脱细胞基质修复前尿道狭窄的疗效分析

目的 探讨小肠黏膜下脱细胞基质(small intestinal submucosa,SIS)修复前尿道狭窄的可行性和有效性.方法 2009年6月至2010年8月采用4层SIS补片修复治疗尿道狭窄患者18例.患者年龄20～69岁,平均38岁;尿道狭窄段3.5～7.0 cm,平均4.6 cm;术前最大尿流率1.5～5.5 ml/s,平均3.8 ml/s.术中按需将SIS(长4.0～7.5 cm,宽 2.0 cm)植入尿道背侧缺损处,5-0可吸收线将SIS间断固定在阴茎海绵体上,SIS两侧与已剪开的狭窄段尿道作连续缝合,两端分别与尿道断端作间断吻合.结果 手术过程顺利,术后恢复好.随访6～18个月,平均10个月,患者未发生感染、排斥反应等并发症.17例排尿通畅,最大尿流率14.0～44.0 ml/s,平均25.4 ml/s.尿道造影显示尿道通畅;术后4、6周尿道镜检查示SIS移植物与周围组织分界清楚;术后14周尿道镜检查SIS已降解,修复段尿道与周围组织间限消失,黏膜光洁完整,管腔无明显狭窄;植入SIS部位活检显示黏膜表层为上皮细胞.1例尿道下裂术后患者术后5个月出现轻度尿道狭窄症状,行尿道扩张治疗.结论 利用SIS修复尿道狭窄具有创伤小、抗感染力强的特点,可作为组织工程尿道修复重建材料修复部分尿道狭窄患者.

Abstract：

Objective To investigate the feasibility of using small intestinal submucosa (SIS) graft for the repair of anterior urethral strictures. Methods From June 2009 to August 2010, 18 men (mean age, 38 yrs) with anterior urethral strictures underwent urethroplasty using a four-layer SIS as an onlay patch graft. SIS was used to augment the urethral caliber at the stricture site. The mean stricture length was 4.6 cm (range 3.5 to 7 cm). The pre-operative mean maximal flow rate was 3.8 ml/s (range 1.5 to 5.5 ml/s). The required SIS grafts (4 to 7.5 cm long and 2 cm wide) were positioned into the urethrotomy defect and were spread-fixed to the corpora cavernosa using 5-0 polyglactin interrupted sutures. Two apices of the graft were sutured to the proximal and distal apices of the urethrotomy with 5-0 polyglactin interrupted stitches. The margins of the opened urethra were sutured to the SIS patch with 5-0 polyglactin running sutures. Results The mean follow-up period was 10 mon. (range 6-18 mon.). No postoperative complication, such as infection or rejection related to the use of heterologous graft material was observed. Seventeen patients voided well postoperatively with the mean peak urine flow of 25.4 ml/s (14-44 ml/s). Cystoscopy revealed that at four weeks and six weeks, the SIS graft was well distinguishable from the normal surrounding tissue; and at 16 weeks, the urothelium was regenerated and the biomaterial was not distinguishable from the normal surrounding tissue. The squamosal epithelium was seen in the histological examination of the grafts. The remaining one patient with failed hypospadias developed a slight urethral narrowing at five months post-operatively and needed sound dilatations. Conclusions SIS matrix appears to be a safe and effective reconstructive material in selected urethral reconstructions.
