[Combined treatment of bladder radiation injuries]

A scheme of therapy of radiation cystitis is suggested. It was developed on the basis of evaluation of literature data and clinical examination of 205 patients with radiation injury of the urinary bladder (104 cases has severe injuries). The method is based on general and local therapy of damaged tissues by antiinflammatory drugs, anesthetics and stimulators of reparative regeneration. Severe ulcerative and incrustation cystites, refractory to conservative therapy, were treated by surgery, using antiseptics and reparation stimulators before, during and after operation. As a result, there were hardly any complications after reconstruction of the bladder with intestinal and peritoneal tissues, 104 patients (96.1%) were cured completely and ability to work was restored in 70 patients. (76.9%).
