URODYNAMIC FINDINGS IN ASSESSMENT OF THE RESULTS OF PARTIAL CYSTECTOMY FOR BLADDER CANCER

Objectives. We determined the role of urodynamic results on the estimation of treatment efficiency of patients with bladder cancer.

Subjects and methods. The study consequently included 160 patients receiving TUR and open resection in 2005−2009. Quality of life was assessed using the IPSS, QoL and International Inventory of Erectile Function (IIEF). Uroflowmetry, bladder diary were carried out to determine lower urinary tract symptoms befor treatment, 3 and 12 mo later.

Results. In 3 months after operation statistically authentic changes of semiotics were noted. But in a year all indicators were in norm or approached to it.

Conclusions. Urodinamic methods of research can be recommended to application as criterion of efficiency of operative intervention and for definition of rehabilitation times in the postoperative period in a complex with other methods.
