Objective To provide the anatomic basis for the posterior urethral repair via the perineal approach. Methods The anatomicconstructions andtheir relationships of the perineal approach from skin to the membranous and prostate apical urethra were observed and some related data were measured in 12 adult male specimens by microanatomy, and the procedures of urethral repair via the perineal approach were carried out in 3 fresh male specimens. Results All the blood vessels and nerves, which supplied the scrotum, the perineum, and bulbourethra, passed lateral-medially. The cavernous nerves coursed posterolaterally from the bottom to the apex of the prostate, pierced the urogenital diaphragm and passed laterally to themembranous urethra in a status of gridding, whose width was (12.11±2.32) mm.Conclusion The structures of the perineum and around the posterior urethra are complicated. The strategy for diminishing the damages to them is that all structures must be dissected strictly in the midline. Confining the dissections strictly to the range of 5 mm from the membranous urethra and resecting the apical prostatic tissues anterolaterally could avoid impairments of the cavernous nerves.
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) combined with transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). Methods China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Chongqing VIP, Wanfang, SinoMed, PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library were searched from the establishment of databases until December 2023. All randomized controlled trials of TACE combined with TURBT for MIBC were collected and subjected to meta-analysis using RevMan 5.4 software. Results A total of 7 studies were included, involving 490 patients, with 246 in the TACE+TURBT group and 244 in the TURBT group. The meta-analysis results showed that compared with TURBT, TACE+TURBT had certain advantages in reducing recurrence rate [relative risk (RR)=0.49, 95% confidence interval (CI) (0.35, 0.68)], improving survival rate [RR=1.16, 95%CI (1.07, 1.27)], shortening surgical time [standardized mean difference (SMD)=?4.97, 95%CI (?7.54, ?2.40)], reducing intraoperative bleeding [SMD=?4.19, 95%CI (?5.78, ?2.60)], and improving quality of life [SMD=4.51, 95%CI (2.15, 6.86)]. The adverse reactions of the two groups were similar. Conclusions Existing evidence suggests that TACE may reduce intraoperative bleeding and shorten surgical time to help achieve maximum TURBT. TACE combined with TURBT may be superior to simple TURBT in terms of tumor recurrence rate and survival rate. TACE combined with TURBT can benefit MIBC patients in bladder-preserving treatment plans.
Objective To investigate the safety, efficacy and morbidity of onestage urethroplasty by using bladder mucosa for treatment of hypospadias. Methods From August 1991 to August 2003, 38 cases of congenital hypospadias were given bladder mucosa flap procedure and one stage urethroplasty. Results Thirty-eight cases of hypospadias treated with one stageurethroplasty by using bladder mucosa were followed up 6 months-9 years afterthe procedure. The success rate of the operation was 95%. Three cases of urethral fistula after the procedure were surgically repaired again, 2 cases of urethral stricture recovered after distension. The complication markedly lessened, micturation became normal with the reconstructed meatussituated at the proper site on the glands. Conclusion one stage urethroplastyby using bladder mucosa for treatment of hypospadias is a simple, effective andsafe surgery.
Objective To present the experience of hypospadias repair using the tubularized incised plate urethroplasty (Snodgrass procedure). Methods FromMay 2001 to November 2004, 82 patients with hypospadias underwent the Snodgrassprocedure and the clinical data were analysed retrospectively. The mean age was5 years (1.5 to 16 years). These cases were divided into: the earlier stage group(34 cases) and the later stage group (48 cases); the proximal group (19 cases)and the distal and middle group (63 cases); the primary operational group (49 cases) and the reoperational group (33 cases). Results Fistulas ocurred in 12 patients (14.6%), complete glans dehiscednce in 1 case. Fistula were as follows: 11 cases in the earlier stage group (32.4%) and 1 case in the later stage group（2.1%）;2 cases in the proximal group (10.5%) and 10 cases in the group of distal and middle group (15.9%); 8 cases in the primary operational group (16.1%) and 4 cases in the reoperational group (12.1%). There was statistically significant difference in the incidence of fistula between the earlier stage group and the later stage group (Plt;0.01). There was no statistically significant difference between the proximal group and the distal and middle group, between the primary operational group and the reoperational group (Pgt;0.05). All patients were followed up more than one month. The neo meatus was innormal position. The results of penile cosmetic and urethral function were satisfactory. Of these cases, 15 were followed up 1.5-6.0 months. The average flow rate was 7.8 ml/s(6.8-10.5 ml/s). The mean of maximum flow rate was 10.5 ml/s (8.8-14.5 ml/s).Conclusion Excellent neourethrol functional and superior casmetic resalts with low rate of complication can be gained by using tubularized incised plate urethroplasty for the cases of hypospadias without chordee or with mild chordee. But the preputialflap procedure should be chosen in condition that the hypospadias was association with obvious chordee.
Objective To investigate the feasibil ity of prefabricating urethra in the expander capsule with gelatin sponge and micro-mucosa compound transplantation. Methods Eight 8-week-old Guizhou miniature pigs (male and/or female) weighing 20-25 kg were used. Six expanders (15 mL) were placed subcutaneously on the dorsal thorax of each miniaturepig. Autologous oral mucosa of every pig was harvested 2 weeks later to prepare micro-mucosa with a diameter less than 1 mm. Gelatin sponge 3 cm × 2 cm in size was transplanted to the expander capsule after being coated by the autologous micromucosa at the area expansion ratio of 4 ∶ 1 (group A), 8 ∶ 1 (group B), and 16 ∶ 1 (group C), respectively (n=2 per group). The implantation of gelatin sponge served as the blank control (group D, n=2). Physiological sal ine was injected into the expander immediately after operation, and the pressure in the expander was 40 mm Hg (1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa). The postoperative general condition of the animals was observed. At 1, 2, and 3 weeks after operation, the animals were killed to receive general, HE staining, and immunohistochemistry staining observations. Results All animals survived till the end of the experiment. The wounds healed well. General observation: in groups A, B, and C at 1 week after operation, there was no obvious degeneration of gelatin, the mucous was survived partially, and there were significant differences among three groups in terms of mucosa healing rate (P lt; 0.05), groups A and B were better than group C, and group A was better than group B; at 2 weeks, the gelatin sponge was partly absorbed, most of the mucosa survived, and the mucosa healing rate of groups A and B was better than that of group C (P lt; 0.05); at 3 weeks, the gelatin sponge was still not absorbed completely, the wound reached epithel ial ization approximately,and there were no significant differences among three groups in terms of mucosa heal ing rate (P gt; 0.05). No neo-mucosa was evident in group D at each time point. Histology and immunohistochemistry staining observation: at each time point, the mucosa epithel ium survival, inflammatory cell infiltration, and pan-cytokeratin were evident in groups A, B, and C; at 3 weeks after operation, the stratified squamous epithel ium presented obvious polarity and the submucous neovascularization was abundant in groups A, B, and C. There was no mucosa epithelium and positive stained pan-cytokeratin in group D. For the percentage of positive pan-cytokeratin stained area, there were significant differences among groups A, B, and C 1 week after operation (P lt; 0.05); at 2 and 3 weeks after operation, there was significant difference between group A and group C, and between group B and group C (P lt; 0.05); but no significant difference was evident between group A and group B (P gt; 0.05). Conclusion Micro-mucosa and gelatin spongy compound transplantation on the expander capsule can form mucosal l ining, achieve complete epithel ial ization in 2 weeks, and contribute to maintain the normal function of prefabricatied urethra.
Objective To investigate the effect of scrotal septum vascular pedicle flap with two wing-l ike spl itthickness skin graft in reconstructing urethra in patients with hypospadias and in reducing the compl ications. Methods From January 2007 to March 2008, 30 cases of hypospadias were treated, with a median age of 10 years (2-20 years). There were 13 cases of proximal shaft type, 12 cases of penoscrotal type and 5 cases of scrotal type. There were 8 cases with operation history. The flap size ranged from 4.0 cm × 0.8 cm to 9.0 cm × 1.0 cm and 5 mm with two wing-l ike spl it-thickness skin graft.When the downward curvature corrected, length of the flap could be determined by the length of the urethra that neededto be reconstructed. Results All flaps survived. The incision healed by first intention in all patients except one whose incision healed after change dressing because of frequent erection. Incision at donor site healed well. Eighteen patients were followed up for 6-12 months, including 8 with second operation history. The reconstructed urethras were unobstructed and no urethrostenosis or urinary fistula happened. Conclusion This is an improved technique of the scrotal septum flap in urethra reconstruction. It takes advantages of both flap and spl it-thickness skin graft in reconstructing urethra and avoides the disadvantages of a single tissue. It is a good choice for treating hypospadias whose urinary meatus locates neighborly to penoscrotal junctional zone.

Objective To assess the analgesic effect of caudal bupivacaine with neostigmine for hypospadias surgery in children. Methods We searched The Cochrane Library (Issue 2, 2008), MEDLINE (1966-2008), EMbase (1980-2008), CBMdisc (1978-2008), CNKI (1989-2008) and Wanfang Database using the keywords “bupivacaine”, “neostigmine” and “hypospadias” to identify randomized control trials (RCTs) of caudal bupivacaine with neostigmine versus bupivacaine alone for hypospadias surgery in children. The methodological quality of included RCTs was evaluated by two reviewers independently, and Meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan 5.0.13 software. Results We identified 3 RCTs including 160 patients which had an uncertain risk of bias. The results of meta-analysis showed no significant difference found between bupivacine alone and bupivacine plus 1 μg/kg neostigmine (WMD= 0.05, 95%CI –?6.76 to 6.86, P= 0.99), but a difference was found between bupivacine alone and bupivacine plus 1 μg/?kg, 2 μg/kg, or 3 μg/?kg neostigmine (WMD= 12.79, 95%CI 10.96 to 14.62, Plt; 0.000 01; WMD= 12.10, 95%CI –?6.76 to 6.86, Plt; 0.000 01; WMD= 11.90, 95%CI 9.17 to 14.63, Plt;0.000 01). The duration of postoperative analgesia of the bupivacaine with neostigmine group was longer than that of bupivacine alone. Conclusions Because of the small sample size and the unclear risk of bias in the included RCTs, the effectiveness of caudal bupivacaine with neostigmine for postoperative pain management after hypospadias surgery in children is not completely confirmed. So more large sample size, double-blind RCTs are needed.
Objective To investigate the effectiveness of longitudinal preputial pedicled flap urethroplasty for chordee of Donnahoo IV type. Methods Between June 1994 and October 2011, 30 patients with chordee (Donnahoo type IV) underwent longitudinal preputial pedicled flap urethroplasty. The patients’ age ranged from 2 to 16 years (mean, 5.8 years). The morphology of the balanus-navicular fossa-external urethral orifice ranged normal; the penis length was 2.5-6.8 cm (mean, 4.3 cm); the penis bending angle was 35-70° (mean, 40.1°). Primary and secondary operation was 27 cases and 3 cases, respectively. The size of flap ranged from 1.5 cm × 1.3 cm to 4.0 cm × 2.0 cm. Results After correction, the penis length was 3.0-8.5 cm (mean, 6.6 cm); the penis bending angle was 0-10° (mean, 1.2°). All patients were followed up 6 months to 12 years (mean, 33 months). No recurrence, stabbing pain of the balanus, or foreign body sensation occurred during follow-up. Of them, 4 patients (13.33%) had urinary fistular, they had satisfactory results after the second operation; 2 patients (6.67%) had urethral stricture 1 month after operation, they also had satisfactory results after arethral dilatation. The other patients showed no scattering urinary flow and good direction without complication. Six patients had satisfactory sexual function after puberty without erection disorder, pain, or dyspareunia. Conclusion Longitudinal preputial pedicled flap urethroplasty can achieve maximum utilization of prepuce and aesthetic and functional improvement with less complication, so it is a relatively ideal mean for treating chordee of Donnahoo type IV.
