Abstract:
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.
