  • Title: [The late results of organ-preserving operations in acute hemorrhages in patients with bladder cancer].
    Author: Dovlatian AA.
    Journal: Urol Nefrol (Mosk); 1996; (2):17-21. PubMed ID: 8677544.
    Abstract:
    Surgical aid in acute hemorrhage due to cancer of the urinary bladder was rendered within 1986-1994 to 65 patients (53 males and 12 females) aged 30-50, 51-60, 61-70 and over 70 years (10, 11, 24 and 20 cases, respectively). The majority had the disease stage T2 and T3. In 42 (64.6%) patients with profuse hematuria complicated by bladder tamponade an urgent resection was performed: segmental in 22, hemiresection in 8, open bladder electroexcision of the tumor in 10 patients. 2 patients had sigmoid cancer with bladder involvement managed by subtotal resection of the bladder and resection of the sigmoid colon. Nephro- or cystostomy was performed because of grave condition (purulent pyelonephritis, azotemia) in 23 patients (35.4%). Total postoperative lethal outcomes made up 33.3% (14 patients): 6 patients died early after surgery, 8 patients 6 months to 8 years later. 27 patients (64.3%) are alive. Of them 10 are 5-8-year survivors. These patients had cancer stage T2 and T3 with tumor location on the lateral wall. In three 4-year survivors there were tumor recurrences 2 and 3 years after surgery which were treated by transurethral resection and electroexcision on the open bladder. Long-term outcomes of urgent surgery show that different kinds of resection of the bladder may be effective in the treatment of acute hemorrhages from bladder tumors.
