There are some cases of clinically diagnosed superficial bladder cancer which are finally indicated for total cystectomy after several conservative treatments such as transurethral electroresection and transurethral electrocoagulation (fulguration). In the past 6 years we have experienced 12 cases which were first treated transurethrally and finally undèrgone total cystectomy in our department. Herin, we report the recent 2 cases of them and analyse these 12 cases retrospectively. Total cystectomy for superficial bladder cancer should be considered in the following conditions.
1) Recurrent high grade 3grade 3) cancer
2) Progress in grade
3) Progress in stage
4) Strongly suggested CIS (carcinoma in sity)
5) Recurrent bladder cancer around ureteral orifices complicated with vesicoureteral reflux
6) Ectopic and multicentric recurrences uncontrollable transurethrally
