In up to 18% of patients, recurrence is observed after curative radical cystectomy. Tumour recurrence occurs in most cases in the locoregional lymph node, as well as in the remaining urinary tract, but very rarely in the orthotopic neobladder. We report a case of multiple recurrence of urothelial carcinoma solely in the orthotopic neobladder of a male patient, 10 years after surgery, without involvement of the urethra or upper urinary tract.

The primary objective was to assess the ability of PET/CT with [F]F-choline to identify lymph node and systemic involvement during initial staging. Secondary objectives included evaluating the impact of [F]F-choline PET/CT on unnecessary local treatments and assessing the safety of [F]F-choline agents.

Current standard tools for diagnosis of UTUC include cytology, computed tomography (CT) urography and ureterorenoscopy (URS). The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of Bladder Epicheck Test as diagnostic tool for UTUC diagnosis and recurrence.

- * Out of 258 patients monitored over 18 months, the M371 test achieved 100% sensitivity and 96.3% specificity for relapse detection, with some ability to detect relapses earlier.
- * While the M371 test shows promise for routine use in monitoring relapses, postoperative levels of M371 did not predict future relapses, and the time advantage for earlier detection was not significant.
Ziel Der Studie: Beschreibung einer neuen Technik zur Rekonstruktion von komplexen Ureterstrikturen unter Verwendung eines freien Peritoneallappens.
Material Und Methoden: Zwischen 2006 und 2021 behandelten wir 11 Patienten mit langen komplexen Harnleiterstrikturen, die in 9 Fällen den mittleren- und in 2 Fällen den proximalen Harnleiter betrafen. Die Länge der Strikturen variierte von 3 bis 12 cm (Mittelwert 7 cm).
