We report our experience with the insertion of a new thermoexpansible permanent intraurethral stent, the Memotherm. We treated 49 patients, 25 with benign prostic hyperplasia (BPH), 21 with recurrent urethral strictures (2 cervicourethral and 18 bulbar and 1 of a vescicourethral anastomosis after radical prostatectomy), and 3 with sphincterotomies (2 for dyssynergia and 1 with incontinence plus stenosis). The patients' ages ranged from 24 to 84 (mean 59.7) years. In all patients, stent insertion was achieved without any operative problem. In two patients, stents were removed (one in the BPH group and one in the urethral stricture group), and at long-term follow-up, we have seen two patients with severe mucosal hyperplasia.
我们报告了使用一种新型热膨胀性永久性尿道内支架——Memotherm的经验。我们治疗了49例患者，其中25例为良性前列腺增生（BPH），21例为复发性尿道狭窄（2例为宫颈尿道狭窄，18例为球部尿道狭窄，1例为前列腺癌根治术后膀胱尿道吻合口狭窄），3例为括约肌切开术患者（2例因协同失调，1例因尿失禁合并狭窄）。患者年龄在24至84岁之间（平均59.7岁）。所有患者在置入支架时均未出现任何手术问题。有2例患者取出了支架（1例在BPH组，1例在尿道狭窄组），在长期随访中，我们发现2例患者出现了严重的黏膜增生。
