title: [Conservative surgical procedures in transitional cell carcinoma of the kidney and ureter].
abstract: Conservative surgical procedure in selected patients with transitional cell carcinoma of upper urinary tract is alternative to radical surgery. Generally, a conservative surgical procedure is indicated in solitary low-stage lesions, particularly impaired renal function and bilaterality. At our Institute, conservative surgical procedure was performed in patients with solitary kidney and significant renal function damage. Survival after conservative and radical surgery was similar, extending the scope of indications for conservative surgical procedure in cases of low-grade low stage tumors.
