Ureteral replacement has always been a challenge. Two approaches have been explored: in situ augmentation or replacement and extra-anatomic passage of a conduit. An in-situ prosthetic ureter is basically a simple al. loplastic tube connected to the urinary tract by end-to-end sutures or by intubation and closure. Antireflux devices and peristaltic mechanisms are not necessary. Among the in-situ designs, only those composed of silicone and silicone rubber have performed at all well. Tissue engineering and acellular matrix grafts have produced impressive early results. Subcutaneous ureteral replacement with alloplasts, including a coaxial assembly of an inner silicone and outer expanded polytetrafluoroethylene tube, has produced good results. In the future, we are likely to see bioengineered neotissue combined with highly porous and infection-resistant alloplasts to create better and more functional neo-organs. |
