1
Case 3 75 Yr male. pT1 TCC upper ureter. Smoker CKD stage 2 Diabetic Monday morning. Patient admitted for lap nephroureterectomy. Discuss procedure and consent.
2
Consent Lap. Nephroureterectomy Discuss: – operative procedure (including discussion of management of distal ureter). – peri-operative management. – complications – follow up (including cystoscopy surveillance) – alternatives to treatment. Complications Common (greater than 1 in 10) Shoulder tip pain. Abdominal bloating. Recurrence of disease elsewhere in the urinary tract. Occasional (between 1 in 10 and 1 in 50) Bleeding, infection, pain or hernia of the incision needing further surgery. Need for additional treatment for cancer after surgery. Rare (less than 1 in 50) Recognised (or unrecognised) entry into the pleural cavity and possible chest drain insertion. Recognised (or unrecognised) injury to organs/blood vessels needing conversion to open surgery (or deferred open surgery). Anaesthetic or cardiovascular problems possibly requiring intensive care admission (including chest infection, pulmonary embolus, stroke, deep vein thrombosis, heart attack and death). Renal failure (temporary or permanent) requiring dialysis. The pathology in the kidney may subsequently be shown not to be cancer. Persistent urine leakage from the bladder needing prolonged catheterisation or further surgery. Hospital-acquired infection Colonisation with MRSA (0.9% - 1 in 110). MRSA bloodstream infection (0.02% - 1 in 5000). Clostridium difficile bowel infection (0.01% - 1 in 10,000).

67 Yr female. Smoker. CKD stage 3a. Previous recurrent multifocal G2pTa TCC bladder. Course of mitomycin 3 years ago (no recurrence since). Visible haematuria 6 weeks ago. What would you do? Case 4 - introduction
4
Case 4 – initial evaluation History - 2 episodes of visible haematuria 6 weeks ago (none since). Examination - normal MSU – no evidence of infection. Flexible cystoscopy – normal. CTU – poor contrast filling of distal ureters, but no obvious abnormality. What next?
5
Case 4 – first URS Bilateral ureteroscopy. Small papillary tumour distal 1/3 left ureter. Removed with basket and LASER to base of tumour. No other abnormalities. Low grade TCC Path report – G2pTa What next?
6
Case 4 – follow up Follow up URS in 3 months. Normal bladder. No evidence of upper tract tumour. Lost to follow up, living in Costa Brava for 3 years. Represents again with visible haematuria. What do you do?
7
Case 4 – re-evaluation History – intermittent haematuria for 12 months. Examination normal. Flexi cystoscopy: – 5 small papillary tumours in bladder. – ? tumour protruding from left U.O. What next?
8
CT 2 days prior to ureteroscopy. What does it show? Bilateral URS – large tumour in right renal pelvis – biopsy taken. Multiple small papillary tumours left distal 4 cm ureter – biopsy and LASER. High grade TCC Path report - right renal pelvis G3pT1 - left lower ureter G2pTa - bladder G2 pTa
9
Case 4 – definitive managment Patient returns to clinic to discuss results and treatment options: Summary of case – 67 Yrs, female, CKD stage 3a and smoker. – CT thorax requested at time of URS reported as clear. – CTU – renal pelvis TCC right – no other disease visible. – Recurrent G2 pTa bladder – Recurrent G2 pTa left distal ureter – New large G3 pT1 right renal pelvis
