Urethral Stricture, Male Clinical Trial
Official title:
Small Intestinal Submucosa Graft as an Alternative to Conventional Buccal Mucosa for Substitution Urethroplasty of Anterior Urethral Strictures
The field of research for this study is tissue engineering and the utilization of a small intestinal submucosa graft as a substitute biomaterial for conventional buccal mucosa in substitution urethroplasty of anterior urethral strictures.
Urethral stricture refers to the abnormal narrowing of the urethral lumen resulting from fibrosis that affects the urethral epithelium and underlying corpus spongiosum. The management of urethral stricture longer than 2 cm a major therapeutic challenge in clinics. Currently available surgical techniques require harvesting of grafts from autologous sites. However, there are numerous disadvantages associated with autografts, such as limited availability and variable quality, donor site morbidity, increased risk of surgical complications; thereby the application of this method is especially limited for large defects. The hypothesis of this study is that the small intestinal submucosa graft can be used as an alternative biomaterial to buccal mucosa for substitution urethroplasty in urethral stricture patients. The aim of this study is to assess safety and efficacy of surgical treatment of patients with anterior urethral stricture using a small intestinal submucosa graft. The follow-up time for all patients in this study was 5 years. The follow-up regimen includes retrograde and pericatheter urethrography, voiding cystourethrography, uroflowmetry, cystoscopy, and voiding symptoms monitoring. Telephone follow-up will take place in between these assessments. ;
