[Experience with the internal splinting method (endoprosthesis) (author's transl)]. 1982

K Maar, and M Stosch

We have used internal splints for 20 years; the endoprosthesis creates an internal urinary diversion of dilatated kidneys due to incurable gynecological, prostatic and bladder cancer. Also in pyeloplasties, difficult stone operations and retroperitoneal fibrosis the pyelovesical splinting method is useful. Scanning electron microscopic research shows that incrustations are rare and even not existing if siliconised polyvinylchlorid (PVC) splints are used. The so called "pig-tail"-splint (double-JTM-ureteral stent) is of pure silicone material and therefore well fit for therapy even over a longer period.

D012826 Silicone Elastomers Polymers of silicone that are formed by crosslinking and treatment with amorphous silica to increase strength. They have properties similar to vulcanized natural rubber, in that they stretch under tension, retract rapidly, and fully recover to their original dimensions upon release. They are used in the encapsulation of surgical membranes and implants. Elastomers, Silicone,Rubber Silicone,Silicone Rubber,Elastosil,Microfil,SE-30,Elastosils,Microfils,SE 30,SE30,Silicone Elastomer

D019736 Prostheses and Implants Artificial substitutes for body parts, and materials inserted into tissue for functional, cosmetic, or therapeutic purposes. Prostheses can be functional, as in the case of artificial arms and legs, or cosmetic, as in the case of an artificial eye. Implants, all surgically inserted or grafted into the body, tend to be used therapeutically. IMPLANTS, EXPERIMENTAL is available for those used experimentally.
