Abstract:
Objective:To explore the effect of improved urethral irrigation on urethral stricture in patients with closed bulbar urethral injury.Methods:The clinical data of 65 male patients with closed bulbar urethral injury complicated with difficult catheterization from January 2014 to January 2018 in the First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 30 cases were treated with flexible cystoscope-guided catheterization and external urethral orifice nursing (routine group), and 35 cases were treated with flexible cystoscope-guided catheterization and urethral drug flushing (improved group). The incidence of urethral stricture 1 and 6 months after catheter removal, number of urethral dilatation and maximum urinary flow rate 6 months after catheter removal, visual analogue score (VAS) during indwelling catheter were compared between 2 groups.Results:Both groups indwelled the catheters successfully. During indwelling catheter, the inflammatory secretion in improved group was less and thinner than that in routine group. There was no significant difference in the incidence of urethral stricture 1 month after catheter removal and VAS during indwelling catheter between 2 groups ( P>0.05); the incidence of urethral stricture and number of urethral dilatation 6 months after catheter removal in improved group were significantly lower than those in routine group: 5.7% (2/35) vs. 26.7% (8/30) and (7.1±1.0) times vs. (11.4±1.8) times, the maximum urinary flow rate 6 months after catheter removal was significantly higher than that in routine group: (19.8 ± 2.9) ml/s vs. (16.3±2.3) ml/s, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05 or <0.01). Conclusions:The system of improved urethral irrigation can be easily fabricated and can achieve convenient application. This improved treatment can facilitate the discharge of urethral secretions, alleviate the urethral inflammation, reduce the urethral scar formation, and can prevent the incidence of bulbar urethral stricture effectively.
