Analysis of ureteral length in adult cadavers

Introduction In some occasions, correlations between human structures can help planning surgical intra-abdominal interventions. The previous determination of ureteral length helps pre-operatory planning of surgeries, reduces costs of auxiliary exams, the correct choice of double-J catheter with low morbidity and fewer symptoms, and an adequate adhesion to treatment. Objective To evaluate ureteral length in adult cadavers and to analyze its correlation with anthropometric measures. Materials and Methods: From April 2009 to January 2012 we determined ureteral length of adult cadavers submitted to necropsy and obtained the following measures: height, distance from shoulder to wrist, elbow-wrist, xiphoid appendix-umbilicus, umbilicus-pubis, xiphoid appendix-pubis and between iliac spines. We analyzed the correlations between ureteral length and those anthropometric measures. Results We dissected 115 ureters from 115 adult corpses from April 2009 to January 2012. Median ureteral length didn't vary between sexes or according to height. It was observed no correlation among ureteral length and all considered anthropometric measures in all analyzed subgroups and in general population. There were no significant differences between right and left ureteral measures. Conclusions There is no difference of ureteral length in relation to height or gender (male or female). There is no significant correlation among ureteral length and the considered anthropometric measures.

引言：在部分临床场景中，人体结构间的相关性可为腹腔内外科手术的规划提供重要参考。术前预先测定输尿管长度，有助于优化手术术前规划、降低辅助检查成本、合理选择双J管（double-J catheter）以降低并发症发生率与症状负担，并保障术后治疗贴合度。研究目的：本研究旨在评估成人尸体的输尿管长度，并分析其与人体测量指标（anthropometric measures）的相关性。材料与方法：2009年4月至2012年1月期间，本研究对接受尸体解剖（necropsy）的成人尸体进行输尿管长度测量，并采集以下人体测量数据：身高、肩腕间距、肘腕间距、剑突脐间距、脐耻间距、剑突耻间距以及髂棘间距。随后分析输尿管长度与上述人体测量指标间的相关性。结果：2009年4月至2012年1月期间，本研究共解剖获取115具成人尸体的115条输尿管。男女两性间以及不同身高群体的输尿管中位长度无显著差异。在所有分析亚组及总体人群中，未观察到输尿管长度与所有纳入的人体测量指标间存在相关性。左右两侧输尿管长度无显著统计学差异。结论：输尿管长度不受身高或性别（男/女）影响。本研究未发现输尿管长度与纳入的人体测量指标间存在显著相关性。
