Transurethral resection of the ureteral meatus invaded by carcinoma of the prostate: a new approach.
We present herewith our surgical procedure for the management of bilateral hydronephrosis and renal failure due to distal ureter infiltration by cancer of the prostate: transurethral resection of the ureteral meatus and intramural ureter or even extravesical ureter invaded by the carcinoma and placement of a double J catheter. We have performed this technique in 3 patients with good results.
