Contribution of cavography to diagnostics of urological diseases.
In the work diagnostic value of cavography in diseases of retroperitoneum organs and anomalies of inferior vena cava and its tributaries is described with a special regard to urological diseases. In correlation with other examination procedures cavography gives valuable information on extent of renal tumours and their relation to surrounding structures, as well as on their infiltration into vascular system. It is justifiable also in diagnostics of primary tumours of retroperitoneum and in diseases of lymph nodes. It completes right diagnostic conclusion and it helps in decision of operability and in determination of therapeutic operation tactics. Its application exceeds the urological field, it brings also differentially diagnostic possibilities and it is applied also in control of therapeutic results. Cavography should not miss in arsenal of modern diagnostic methods.
