Labial mucosal grafting onlay ureteroplasty without omental wrap for ureteral stricture with occlusion: initial results.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: The treatment of complex ureteral stricture has always been a hot and difficult topic in urology. The aim of our study is to investigate the feasibility and clinical efficacy of labial mucosal graft (LMG) onlay ureteroplasty without omental wrap for ureteral stricture with occlusion and present our initial experience. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed perioperative and follow-up data of 12 patients admitted to The First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University who underwent the LMG ureteroplasty with ureteral occlusion from April 2022 to September 2023. After stricture and occluded segments were incised longitudinally, the LMG was used to expand the ureteral lumen without omental wrap. Results: All patients had successful surgery with no intraoperative complications. The median length of ureteral stricture was 3.5 cm (range, 3-5 cm), the median length of the occlusion was 1.5 cm (range, 1-2 cm), the median length of the LMGs is 4.5 cm (range, 4-6 cm). Ureteroscopy confirmed that the reconstructed ureteral lumen was unobstructed except for one patient with thin film-like ureteral stricture. Only one patient had slight contracture at the graft site, which did not affect movement of lip and appearance. No persistent and obvious discomfort was observed at the graft site in the remaining patients. Conclusions: Our experience suggests that LMG onlay ureteroplasty without omentum wrap appears to be a feasible and safe option for reconstruction of ureteral occlusion.
