    Notes: Background At Kobe University Hospital we have created orthotopic neobladders since 1988 by using several colonic segments. Various types of neobladders were compared and a detailed description of these procedures and the voiding function outcome is presented. Methods Thirty-two men with invasive bladder carcinoma or recurrent carcinoma in situ underwent a radical cystectomy followed by orthotopic neobladder replacement using a right colonic, ileocolic or sigmoid colonic segment. The functional capacity, percentage of residual urine volume, configuration of the neobladder, and location in the pelvis were evaluated 1 year after surgery. Voiding function was evaluated using a questionnaire which included questions on diurnal and nocturnal continence, and by uroflowmetric analysis. Results Operative time, blood loss, and functional neobladder capacity did not differ for the 3 types of neobladders. The configuration of the right colonic and ileocolic neobladders resembled the shape of a rugby ball. The configuration of the sigmoid neobladder was oval. The right colonic and ileocolic neobladders tended to be located along the right side wall of the pelvis. The sigmoid neobladder was located in the center of the pelvis. Daytime and nocturnal continence was not affected by either the type of neobladder or its configuration or position. Neobladders located in the center of the pelvis exhibited a better maximum flow rate than those located along the right wall of the pelvis. Conclusion The technical difficulty in constructing the 3 types of neobladders was approximately the same. For better voiding a neobladder should be located in the center of the pelvis.

    Notes: Background We evaluated the long-term effect of percutaneous resection in 2 Japanese patients with transitional cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis, and reviewed the medical literature on similar patients, to determine the appropriate indications for percutaneous treatment of transitional cell carcinoma in the upper urinary tract. Results Indications for endoscopic resection in the 2 patients were renal insufficiency and unsuitability for major open surgery. The patients had no recurrence during follow-up. Seven previous reports described percutaneous resection of upper urinary tract transitional cell carcinoma in 82 patients. Although 72.6% of the patients were successfully treated by percutaneous resection, half of the patients with grade 3 carcinoma developed recurrence. Conclusion These results, together with those of the 7 published reports, suggest that percutaneous resection should be limited to selected patients with low-grade transitional cell carcinoma.

    Notes: Abstract A case is presented of spontaneous rupture of an ileal orthotopic neobladder due to a large residual urine volume. The present case is the 13th such case reported; however, this case is the first to show lower abdominal phlegmon and in which the perforation site was detected using computed tomography scanning. The indications for neobladder should be considered with great care. If spontaneous rupture is suspected, an early diagnosis of the perforation site and a measure of the extravasation volume using computed tomography are necessary. Appropriate treatment should include laparotomy.

    Notes: Background : A male patient with a solitary kidney and contracted bladder due to urinary tuberculosis presented ureteral obstruction caused by primary lower ureteral cancer. Methods : Distal ureterectomy and urinary tract reconstruction consisting of ileal bladder augmentation and ileal ureter replacement with an antireflux procedure was performed. Results/Conclusions : Postoperatively satisfactory voiding without residual urine was achieved.

    Notes: Abstract A multicentric randomized trial was conducted for the purpose of investigating the prophylactic efficacy of intravesical epirubicin instillation following transurethral resection of superficial bladder cancer in comparison with the efficacy of doxorubicin. The patients were centrally randomized into 2 groups and received 19 intravesical instillations of epirubicin or doxorubicin at 30 mg/30 ml physiological saline twice a week for 4 weeks and then once monthly for 11 months. A total of 150 patients with Ta and T1 superficial bladder cancer were entered in the trial, and 114 were evaluable. The nonrecurrence rates determined for each group at 1 and 2 years by the Kaplan-Meier method were 92.8% and 88.6%, respectively, for the epirubicin group and 86.4% and 81.7%, respectively, for the doxorbicin group. The differences between the two groups were not statistically significant. The main side effects encountered in this study were symptoms of bladder irritation such as micturitional pain, pollakisuria, and hematuria. The respective frequencies of those symptoms were 10%, 15.0%, and 5.0% in the epirubicin group and 14,8%, 14.8%, and O in the doxorubicin group. These results suggest that epirubicin is a useful drug, comparable with doxorubicin, for intravesical instillation chemotherapy in the prophylactic treatment of superficial bladder cancer.
