[Partial parietal cystectomy and cystoplasty using a lyophilized human dura mater patch as an alternative in palliative surgery for bladder cancer]. / Cistectomía parcial parietal y cistoplastia con parche de duramadre humana liofilizada como alternativa en cirugía oncológica vesical paliativa.

Fifteen patients with infiltrating bladder carcinoma underwent partial cystectomy and cystoplasty with lyophilized human dura at our hospital from 1983 to 1988. The 5-year survival rate was 75% for stage B1, 60% for B2, 40% for C and 0% for D1. There were no intra- or post-operative deaths and the post-operative complications were few. This procedure may be useful in selected patients with bladder tumors who cannot be submitted to more radical procedures due to a coexisting pathological condition representing a high surgical risk or in elderly patients.
