BACKGROUND We investigated the propriety of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and the possibility of bladder preservation based on clinical and pathological responses in invasive bladder cancer. METHOD Nineteen cases of invasive bladder cancer which had been subjected to two courses of neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by radical cystectomy were analyzed. RESULTS The overall response rate was 79% (5...

BACKGROUND This study was conducted to test the efficacy and tolerability of trimodality treatment for invasive bladder cancer and to test the possibility of bladder sparing. METHODS This study had been carried out on 50 patients with transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) stage T2- T3 tumors with adequate performance status and renal function. All patients were subjected to maximum transurethral ...

Bladder neck contracture (BNC) is a well-described complication of the surgical treatment of benign and malignant prostate conditions. Nevertheless, etiologies of BNC development are highly dependent on the primary treatment modality undertaken with BNC also occurring after pelvic radiation. The treatment options for BNC can range from simple, office-based dilation procedures to more invasive, ...

1.1 Anatomy of the lower urinary tract Initially, a brief summary of the anatomy of the lower urinary tract will be presented. The bladder is a hollow muscular organ in pelvis lined by a mucous membrane and covered on its outer aspect partly by peritoneal serosa and partly by fascia (Lich et al. 1978; Dixon and Gosling 1987). The muscularis of the bladder is formed of smooth muscle cells which ...

CASE SUMMARY A 33-month-old, spayed female domestic shorthair cat was referred to the Animal Health Trust for the investigation of urinary incontinence and straining to urinate. A membrane-like structure was detected in the bladder neck, which caused partial obstruction of the urinary bladder. A combination of different imaging techniques, including ultrasonography, radiography, CT and fluorosc...

PURPOSE In patients with neurogenic bladder due to spinal cord injury or disease who undergo augmentation cystoplasty (AC) for not only bladder dysfunction but also sphincteric incontinence, the need for concomitant bladder neck reconstruction at the time of AC has not yet been established. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether concomitant bladder neck reconstruction is necessary when p...
