Does Ta Low-grade Urothelial Carcinoma of the Bladder With Focal High-grade Features Carry Worse Prognosis? The Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center Experience.

Objective: To describe the management and outcomes of patients with Ta predominantly low-grade urothelial carcinoma with focal high-grade features (FHG) (<5%), compared to those with Ta low grade (LG) and Ta high grade (HG).

Methods: Retrospective review of all patients who underwent transurethral resection of bladder tumor between 2005 and 2023. Patients with Ta disease were identified and categorized into LG, FHG, and HG.

Is Stent-Free Ureteroenteric Anastomosis Associated With Lower Ureteroenteric Strictures After Robot-Assisted Radical Cystectomy and Ileal Conduit?

Introduction: We aimed to investigate the differences in perioperative outcomes, especially ureteroenteric strictures, between patients who underwent a stented ureteroenteric anastomosis at the time of robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) and ileal conduit vs those who did not.

Methods: A retrospective review of our RARC database was performed (2009-2023). Patients were divided into those who received stented ureteroenteric anastomosis vs those who did not.
