[Transurethral ultrasonography for bladder tumor staging].
A transurethral ultrasonographic study of diagnosing the stage of bladder tumors was made on 35 cases whose pathological stages were confirmed by transurethral resection or total cystectomy. Ultrasonographic diagnoses were in accordance with the pathological stages in 29 (82.9%) out of 35 cases. Restricted to 12 cases whose histological findings were examined by total cystectomy, the accuracy was 83.3%. Transurethral ultrasonography is considered to be a very useful method for bladder tumor staging.
