Objective:To determine the feasibility of decellularized small intestinal submu-cosa(5IS)matrix in repairing ureteral strictures.Methods:Two patients with ureteral stenoses underwent ureteral reconstruction with SIS ma-trix at the Zhejiang Provincial Corps Hospital of Chinese People's Armed Forces between June 2014 and June 2016.The ureteral stenoses were repaired with a semi-tubular SIS matrix and the postoperative recoveries were observed.Results:Both operations were successfully completed.The average operative time was 90 min and the average length of hospital stay was 15 days.No fevers,incision infections,intestinal obstruction,graft rejection,or other serious complications were noted.After 2 months,ure-teroscopic examinations showed that the surfaces of the original patches were covered by mu-Cosa and there were no apparent stenoses in the lumens.The ureteral stents were replaced every 2 months postoperatively and removed 12 months postoperatively.No infections or uri-nary leakage occurred after removal of the stents.Intravenous urography was performed 6 and 12 months postoperatively.The results showed that the ureters were not obstructed and there was no apparent stenosis at the anastomosis sites.The average follow-up time was>12 months.Long-term follow-up is still ongoing,and computed tomography examin ations of the urinary tract have been conducted in the outpatient department of our hospital 1,3,and 6 months after removal of the double-J stents,suggesting the absence of hydronephrosis.The serum creatinine levels remained stable during the follow-up.Conclusion:SIS matrix reconstruction is a feasible method to repair ureters stenosis.
