The efficacy and safety of transurethral partial cystectomy combined with intravesical suturation in the treatment of bladder cancer / 中华泌尿外科杂志

Objective:To summarize the efficacy and safety of transurethral partial cystectomy combined with intravesical suturation in the treatment of bladder cancer.Methods:The clinical data of 28 patients with bladder cancer who were admitted in Zhengzhou People's Hospital from July 2020 to October 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. There were 22 males and 6 females, with the average age of (68.8±8.9) years old. Twenty cases were with single bladder tumor, and 8 cases were with multiple bladder tumors. The diameter of single bladder tumor measured by CT was less than 4 cm, with a median tumor diameter of 2.3(0.9, 2.8)cm. All 28 patients underwent transurethral partial cystectomy combined with intravesical suturation for the first time. Intraoperative intravesical instillation was conducted with 1 g gemcitabine. Bladder hot reperfusion treatment was performed with gemcitabine 2 g at 45℃ immediately after operation. The patients underwent reexamination with cystoscopy every 3 months after operation.Results:All the 28 patients successfully completed the operation. The average operation time was (128.3±16.3)min. No obturator nerve reflection was induced during operation. Muscularis tissue was found in all tumor pathological specimens after operation, among which 4 cases showed muscularis infiltration. Pathology of tumor basal and peripheral tissues showed tumor cell infiltration in 3 cases (1 case full-thickness infiltration, namely the incision margin was positive). The median continuous irrigation time of bladder after operation was 24.0(20.9, 25.0)h. The median time of indwelling catheter after operation was 6.5(6.0, 7.0)days, and one case developed severe bladder spasm. All patients were followed up, with a median follow-up of 7.5(4.0, 10.8) months.Postoperative recurrence occurred in 3 cases, all of which were ectopic recurrence in bladder.The 1-year recurrence rate was 10.7% (3/28).Conclusions:In the first surgical treatment of bladder cancer, transurethral partial cystectomy combined with intravesical suturation can provide accurate pathological staging, and low positive surgical margin rate. Immediate suturation of bladder wound during operation and immediate bladder perfusion chemotherapy can provide short bladder irrigation time, with few adverse reactions and low incidence of complications.

Clinical application of a novel urinary cytology detection system for bladder cancer / 现代泌尿外科杂志

【Objective】 To investigate the diagnostic efficacy of a novel bladder cancer detection system utilizing a urine cell processing kit for urine sample preservation and detection. 【Methods】 Patients with primary persistent gross hematuria and high recurrence risk of bladder cancer after transurethral resection of bladder tumor were prospectively enrolled between Dec.2021 and Mar.2022. Urine specimens were either added to (experimental group) or not added to (control group) the urine cell processing kit and were fixed on Day 0, Day 3 and Day 7. The sensitivity and specificity of the two groups were compared after the cells were fixed, produced, stained and read with body fluid cytology total staining technique. 【Results】 The sensitivity and specificity of the experimental group on Day 0 were 82.50% (33/40) and 87.50% (14/16), respectively; those of the control group were 79.49% (31/39) and 82.35% (14/17), respectively. On Day 3, the sensitivity and specificity of the experimental group were 76.32% (29/38)and 81.25% (13/16), respectively; those of the control group were 52.78% (19/36) and 78.57% (11/14), respectively. On Day 7, the sensitivity and specificity of the experimental group were 71.43% (25/35) and 72.22% (13/18), respectively; those of the control group were 35.71% (10/28) and 60.00% (9/15), respectively. The sensitivity of the experimental group on Day 3 and Day 7 was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 This bladder cancer urine cytology detection system provides clear diagnostic advantages and can be used as an auxiliary examination before cystoscopy for patients with hematuria and those at high risk of bladder cancer recurrence. It can also be used as a bladder cancer screening tool for pre-screening a large sample of people in order to achieve early diagnosis and treatment of bladder cancer.

Effect of Intravesical Instillation Therapy on Cancer-specific Survival Rate of Stage T1 Non-muscle-invasive Bladder Transitional Cell Carcinoma Patients After Transurethral Resection / 肿瘤防治研究

Objective To investigate the effect of transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) with or without intravesical instillation therapy on cancer-specific-survival rate (CSS) of T1 stage non-muscle-invasive bladder transitional cell carcinoma (BTCC) patients. Methods The data of patients diagnosed with T1 stage non-muscle-invasive BTCC from 2010 to 2015 were obtained from the SEER database. The different dividing groups were based on TURBT with or without intravesical instillation therapy. A 1:1 PSM method was used to balance the differences in baseline data between each group. Herein, Kaplan-Meier methods were used to draw survival curves, and the difference between OS and CSS were compared by Log rank test. In addition, univariate and multivariate Cox regressionanalyses were used to explore the independent risk factors of CSS. Results The OS and CSS of patients in the TURBT combined with intravesical instillation therapy group were higher than those of the TURBT alone group (P < 0.05). TURBT combined with intravesical instillation therapy was a protective factor in prognosis with T1 stage non-muscle-invasive BTCC patients (HR=0.783, 95%CI: 0.650-0.942, P < 0.01). Conclusion TURBT combined with intravesical instillation therapy improves the CSS of patients with T1 stage non-muscle-invasive BTCC.

Analysis of self-control trial results of narrow band imaging and white light in transurethral resection of bladder tumor / 北京大学学报(医学版)

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the effect of NBI assisted white light transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) in the treatment of bladder urothelial carcinoma and to summarize the experience of narrow band imaging (NBI) operation.@*METHODS@#Patients with bladder urothelial carcinoma were selected, and TURBT was performed after anesthesia. First of all, the bladder tumor was found and resected under white light. Then we replaced with NBI, looked for suspicious lesions and resected them, The specimens excised under white light and NBI were collected separately. The number, location and pathological results of the lesions under white light were recorded, and the residual lesions under NBI were also recorded. To evaluate the effect of NBI, the ratio of residual bladder tumor was calculated. The cases were divided into three groups according to the time sequence. The clinical data of each group were collected and the learning curve of TURBT under NBI assisted white light was observed.@*RESULTS@#A prospective study of 45 patients with bladder tumor from April 2018 to January 2020, including 32 males and 13 females, aged from 23 to 89 years, with an average age of 65.2 years. All the operations were successfully completed, without obvious complications after operation. Nine cases were single and 36 cases were multiple. The maximum diameter of the tumors was 0.5 to 4.0 cm, with an average of 2.2 cm. The histopathology of the resected tissue under white light was urothelial carcinoma, and 19 cases (42.2%) were pathologically positive by NBI resection. The 45 cases were divided into three groups according to the time sequence, 15 cases in each group. The true positive rate of NBI was 33.3%, 46.7% and 46.7%, respectively, and the false positive rate was 60.0%, 46.7% and 26.7%, respectively in the three groups.@*CONCLUSION@#TURBT is an effective way to treat bladder urothelial cancer, NBI is an effective supplement of white light, which can increase the detection rate of bladder cancer and reduce post-operative recurrence. The NBI light source has a certain learning curve. With the increase of cases, the false-positive rate of NBI is gradually reduced. After the NBI operator has rich experience, the recognition degree of flat tumor is gradually improved under white light, and the residual rate of NBI is reduced after the removal under white light.

Value of European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer score system for predication of immediate postoperative intravesical instillation of pirarubicin after transurethral resection of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer / 中华肿瘤杂志

Objective@#To assess value of immediate postoperative intravesical instillation of pirarubicin after transurethral resection (TURBT)of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer.@*Methods@#484 patients diagnosed with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University were divided into two groups after transurethral resection of bladder tumor. 285 patients received postoperative intravesical instillation of pirarubicin within 6 hours after the surgery, 199 patients received first instillation of pirarubicin at 10 days after the surgery, after that, all the patients received routine bladder perfusion chemotherapy. Patients who received intravesical instillation of pirarubicin within 6 hours were defined as immediate intravesical instillation group and the other patients as the control group. Based on the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer risk tables, scores of recurrence and progression of patients were calculated and then stratified into risk groups accordingly. Recurrence and progression rates of the immediate intravesical instillation group were analyzed and then compared with the corresponding reference of the risk tables.@*Results@#The 1-year and 5-year recurrence rate of patients with EORTC table scoring 0 in the immediate intravesical instillation group were significantly lower than that of the EORTC reference group (5.3% and 14.0% vs 15.0% and 31.0%, P<0.05). 1-year recurrence free rate between the immediate intravesical instillation group and the control group in patients scoring 1-4 was significantly different (81.3% vs 76.7%, P=0.014). However, 1-year recurrence free rate of the immediate intravesical instillation group was comparable with that of the control group in patients scoring 5-9, 10-17(P>0.05), which is quite close to the EORTC reference. The probability rates of 1-year and 5-year progression of the 285 patients who received immediate intravesical instillation group did not show significant difference with the EORTC reference. On multivariate analysis, previous recurrence, tumor grade G2-3, tumor multiplicity, delay of immediate intravesical instillation were independent risk factors of recurrence(P<0.05).@*Conclusions@#With the help of EORTC recurrence risk table stratifying the patients into different risk groups, our study showed that delay of immediate postoperative intravesical instillation of chemotherapy after TURBT was an independent risk factor of post-surgery recurrence of tumor. Moreover, patients with EORTC scoring 1-4 might obtain greatest benefits.

Objective: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of transurethral enucleation of bladder tumor(TUEBT) in the treatment of non muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). Methods: The clinical and pathological data of 82 NMIBC patients treated between No-vember 2015 and January 2018 in the First Affiliated Hospital of the Jinzhou Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. The 82 NMIBC patients were divided into a TUEBT group (38 cases) and a transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) group (44 cases). The differences in intraoperative indices, postoperative indices, and pathological staging between the two groups were compared. Re-sults: The bladder irrigation, indwelling catheter, and postoperative hospitalization times in the TUEBT group were (21.00 ± 3.55) h, (4.34±0.81) d, and (5.29±0.96) d, respectively, compared with (27.57±3.87) h, (5.32±0.83) d, and (6.32±0.86) d in the TURBT group, and the differences between groups were statistically significant (P<0.05). The operative time in the TUEBT group [(29.55±4.13) min] was longer than in the TURBT group [(25.30±4.01) min]. The hemoglobin decrease in the TUEBT group [(2.00±0.38) g/dL] was less than that in the TURBT group [(2.30±0.32) g/dL]. The incidence of obturator nerve reflex in the TUEBT group was 13.16% (5/38), compared to 34.09% (15/44) in the TURBT group. The recurrence rate in the TUEBT group was 10.53% (4/38), compared to 29.55% (13/44) in the TURBT group. The detrusor deletion rate in the TUEBT group was 0 (0/38), compared to 31.82% (14/44) in the TURBT group. The re-peat transurethral resection (ReTUR) standard was met in 22 cases in the TUEBT group and 33 in the TURBT group. ReTUR due to lack of a detrusor was required in 0 cases in the TUEBT group and 14 in the TURBT group. The differences in the above clinical characteris-tics were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusions: TUEBT can remove a tumor completely, while preserving the detrusor, improv-ing the accuracy of pathological staging, and reducing the probability of ReTUR. For NMIBC, TUEBT can obtain satisfactory clinical effi-cacy, with surgical safety and long-term efficacy superior to those of TURBT.

Bladder neoplasms in patients aged between 20 and 30 years old: An analysis of clinical characteristics / 第二军医大学学报

Objective To evaluate the clinicopathological features and prognosis of patients with bladder neoplasm aged between 20 and 30 years old. Methods The clinical data of the patients with bladder tumors aged 20-30 years old, who were treated from Jan. 2009 to March 2014, were retrospectively analyzed. The general information, clinical manifestations, diagnostic essentials, pathological outcomes, treatment strategies and prognoses were analyzed. Results A total of 20 patients were included in this study, which accounted for 1.22%(20/1 645) of all the bladder neoplasm cases in our hospital during the same period. The mean age of the 20 patients was (25.8±3.1) years old, including 13 males and 7 females. Gross hematuria as the main clinical symptoms were found in 10 patients, 6 patients were detected accidently due to non-hematuria symptoms, and 4 patients were diagnosed during the health checkup. There were 2 multifocal and 18 solitary tumors, with the total number of tumors being 24, including 15 in the lateral bladder wall, 3 in the posterior wall, 1 in the anterior wall, 3 in the trigone and 2 in the bladder neck. Two tumors in patients with hematuria were missed by ultrasound. The maximum diameters of tumors measured by ultrasound ranged from 0.4 cm to 2.7 cm (mean [1.1±0.7] cm). The detection rate of cystoscopy for tumors was 100%. The pathological results found 1 paraganglioma and 19 urothelial neoplasms, including 2 urothelial flat lesions and 17 papillary urothelial neoplasms. Of the 20 patients, 19 received transurethral resection of bladder tumor, 1 underwent exploratory laparotomy after four-cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy with gemcitabine and cisplatin. Sixteen patients were followed-up for 3 months to 5 years (mean [28±16] months). Three patients had recurrence, with one progressed to muscle invasive carcinoma. Conclusion Bladder neoplasms in patients aged 20-30 years old are usually solitary, of low grade and low stage; meanwhile, there is a possibility of highly aggressive disease. It is noteworthy that a good few of patients are asymptomatic. The long-term follow-up is crucial for all these patients.

Objective To compare the safety and efficacy between RevoLix 2 μ m continuous-wave (CW) laser resection of bladder tumor and transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) in patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder tumor, and to evaluate clinical value of 2 μ m CW laser resection for nonmuscle-invasive bladder tumor. Methods 62 patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder tumor were divided into 2 groups including 2 μ m CW laser resection group (32 cases) and TURBT group (30 cases) according to the random number table.The intravesical instillation of pirarubicin was performed regularly. The operative time,drop in hemoglobin,indwelling catheterization time,and operative complications were analyzed.Results All cases were completed successfully. The mean operative times of 2 μm CW laser resection group and TURBT group were 32.5±10.5 min and 31.3± 9.8 min, respectively, and no statistical difference could be found between both groups (t =0.364,P=0.674).3 cases were found to have obturator nerve reflex in TURBT group,but no obturator nerve reflex was found in 2 μn CW laser resection group.Bladder irrigation time of 2 μm laser resection group was statistically shorter than that of TURBT group [ (6.2±2.6)h vs (23.8±6.5)h,t =8.294,P=0.006]. There was also no significant difference in postoperative catheterization time between both groups [(4.2±1.5)d vs (5.2±1.8)d,t=1.468,P=0.103 ]. Postoperative hospitalization time of the two groups was not shown significant difference [ (5.3± 1.5) d vs (5.8±2.8) d,t =0.627,P =0.531 ].All cases were followed up for 6～18 months,and there were no significant difference in the recurrence rate between both groups (x2=0.481,P =0.562). Conclusion 2 μm CW laser resection is a novel excellent treatment for non-muscle-invasive bladder tumor and has the similar effect as TURBT with the advantage of significantly less blood loss and rapid recovery after surgery.

Inadvertent Breakage of the Spinal Needle during the Obturator Nerve Block for the Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumor: A case report / 대한마취과학회지

Obturator nerve block is occasionally performed during transurethral resection of lateral bladder wall tumors to prevent the violent contraction of the adductor muscle of the thigh. Rare complications including intravascular injection of the local anesthetics and hematoma formation may occur during the obturator nerve block. We report a case of the unintentional breakage of the spinal needle during the obturator nerve block with successful removal of the broken spinal needle by an orthopedic surgeon.

Preventing superficial bladder cancer from recurrence by intravesical instillation with Brucea Javanica oil emulsion after TUR-Bt operation / 中国康复理论与实践

@# ObjectiveTo observe the effect of intravesical instillation of Brucea Javanica oil emulsion on recurrence of bladder cancer after transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TUR-Bt) operation.Methods187 patients with superficial bladder carcinoma after TUR-Bt operation were randomly divided into the group A (85 cases) and group B (102 cases). Patients of the group A were treated with instillation of Brucea Javanica oil emulsion; those of the group B were treated with mitomycin. A three-years following up was performed to observe the recurrence and side effects.ResultsAfter a 3-years following up, the recurrence rate of group A was 12.94%, lower than that of group B (34.31%). The side effects were seldom seen in the group A.ConclusionThe effect of intravesical instillation of Brucea Javanica oil emulsion to prevent the recurrence of bladder cancer after TUR-Bt operation is favorable.

Transurethral resection of bladder tumor under block anesthesia of bilateral obturator nerves / 中国微创外科杂志

Objective To study the safety and efficacy of transurethral resection of bladder tumor(TURBt)under block anesthesia of bilateral obturator nerves.Methods Seventy-seven patients were chronologically divided into two groups.Forty-six of patients with lateral,bilateral or multiple tumors in the bladder,which underwent transurethral resection of bladder tumor under epidural anesthesia from April 2003 to October 2004,were chosen as the Control Group.Thirty-one patients whom were administrated with epidural anesthesia plus bilateral block of the obturator nerve from October 2004 to July 2005 served as the Study Group.Incidences of bladder perforation and obturator nerve reflex were compared between the two groups.Results In the Control Group,obturator nerve reflex occurred in 25 patients(including intense reflex in 11 patients),giving an incidence of 54.3%(25/46),and bladder perforation resulted from the reflex was observed in 8 patients,with an incidence of 17.3%(8/46).In the Study Group,slight obturator nerve reflex happened in 3 patients(9.9%,3/31)and bladder perforation was found in 1 patient(3.2%,1/31).A significant higher rate of obturator nerve reflex was noted in the Control Group than in the Study Group(?2=15.970,P=0.000),but no statistical difference was seen in bladder perforation rate between the two groups(?2=2.359,P=0.125).Conclusions Bilateral block of the obturator nerve can improve the safety remarkably during transurethral resection of bladder tumor,especially when the tumor was located in the lateral bladder wall.
