Abstract

The results of radical nephrouretercystectomy (NUCE) are presented for 13 patients (9 males and 4 females, age 44-70 years, mean age 58 +/- 1.7 years). One-stage NUCE was made in 11 patients, two- or three-stage--in 2 patients. Indications for NUCE were the following: urothelial cancer, urogenital tuberculosis, microcystis, neurogenic dysfunction of the urinary bladder complicated by definite renal dysfunction. Postoperative complications arose in 3 patients. Lethal outcomes were absent. The results presented say in favour of extended surgery in involvement of the kidney, ureter, urinary bladder, prostate, urethra. Radical NUCE is primarily indicated in cancer of the renal pelvis, ureter with muscular invasion into the bladder wall, non-functional kidney due to ureteral obstruction with a tumor or scar.
