Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the value of kidney-sparing surgery in the treatment of upper urinary tract urothelial tumors by retrospectively analyzing and comparing the clinical data of elderly patients with upper urinary tract urothelial tumors between patients undergoing kidney-sparing surgery and nephroureterectomy in our hospital during the same period.Methods Thirty elderly patients with upper urinary tract urothelial tumors were treated with kidney-sparing surgery(ureteroscopy,segmental ureteral resection)and followed up from April 2004 to July 2017.One hundred and fortynine patients who underwent nephroureterectomy during the same period were selected as the control group.The survival rate and local recurrence rate were compared between the two groups.Results In the kidney-sparing group,23 cases were pathologically diagnosed as tumors,3 cases as inflammatory polyps and 4 cases without pathological findings.There were no statistically significant differences between kidney-sparing surgery and nephroureterectomy in bladder recurrence[4 cases(13.3％)vs.24 cases(16.1％),x2 =0.011,P =0.915],pelvic orthotopic recurrence [3 cases (10.0％) vs.6 cases (4.0％),x2 =0.825,P=0.364],cancer-specific death rate[2 cases(6.7％)vs.16 cases(10.7％),x2=0.118,P=0.731]and overall survival rate[4 cases(13.3％)vs.22 cases(14.8％),x2 =0.410,P =0.550].There were no significant differences between kidney-sparing surgery versus nephroureterectomy among postoperative 1-year,5-year and 10-year in the overall survival rates (100.0 ％vs.95.1％、85.9 ％ vs.84.1％、80.5 ％ vs.60.8 ％,P =0.156),tumor-specific survival rates (100.0 ％ vs.95.1％,85.7 ％ vs.87.6 ％,85.7 ％ vs.76.8 ％,P =0.380) and progression-free survival rates(100.0％vs.100.0％,90.9％vs.96.0％,90.9％ vs.79.7％,P =0.680).Conclusions Elderly patients have poor physical conditions and poor tolerance to radical surgery with a significant damage on postoperative renal function.Kidney-sparing surgery(ureteroscopy,segmental ureteral resection) as the treatment of upper urinary tract tumors can minimize the risk of surgery and optimize the quality of life.The individual assessment based on individual conditions,postoperative complications,and the recovery of renal function should be conducted and the operation with the greatest benefit should be adopted.
