title: Bladder carcinoma treated by partial cystectomy: a review of 54 cases.
abstract: A retrospective study of 54 partial cystectomies done between 1958 and 1973 was undertaken to evaluate the proper role of the procedure in the treatment of bladder carcinoma. The operative mortality rate was 1.8% and the postoperative morbidity was low in the series. The 5-year survival rate for stages B1 (21 cases) and B2 (16 cases) lesions was 57%, with an over-all 5-year survival rate for all stages of 48%. Indications for the operation are presented and factors influencing survival are discussed.
