| Popis: | Objective To evaluate changes occurring in the mucosa of the neobladder over a period of 60 months in 24 patients with orthotopic ileal neobladder. Materials and methods A total of 36 male patients have undergone radical cystoprostatectomy and received an orthotopic ileal neobladder in our hospital during the last 10 years; 24 of these patients, all of whom completed a follow-up period of 60 months, are included in this study. All cases underwent a biopsy of the ileal mucosa at the time of surgery and their neobladder mucosa was then biopsied at 6, 12, 24, 36 and 60 months. The specimens were stained with hematoxylin-eosin in order to examine the changes in the thickness of the mucosa and its villi. Sections were also stained with Alcian blue and periodic acid-Schiff in order to determine the number of goblet cells. A morphometric scoring system was created to quantify the change in villi size. Results The mean thickness of the ileal mucosa at the initial biopsy was 270.9 +/- 35.9 microm and displayed a continuous decrease at all of the subsequent biopsies. The number of luminal goblet cells increased during follow-up. Villus atrophy was found to be a continuous process during follow-up. No dysplasia or malignancy was detected in any of the biopsies. Conclusion During a follow-up period of 5 years, there were no neoplastic changes in our patients, but instead a protective response of the mucosa to its new environment was observed. |
