Abstract
Results of our recent cystectomy series revealed good survival for patients with superficial bladder tumors. The morbidity rate was low, 8.6 per cent. Our series showed a statistically significant postoperative morbidity rate in a high risk patient group, then justifying preoperative selection of patients as condidates for this major operation. However, we believe that despite relatively good results in reducing the morbitidy and mortality rates and improvement in survival, the over-all results in treatment of bladder tumors with operation alone are still unsatisfactory and there is an urgent need to develop and to investigate new and combined modalities of treatment.Keywords
