Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics and prognostic factors of primary bladder adenocarcinoma（ACB）.Methods:The clinical data of 33 patients with primary ACB who underwent surgical treatment in the Department of Urology of Peking University Third Hospital from July 2003 to January 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 5 females and 28 males，with an average age of（61.3 ± 11.5）years. Twelve patients had comorbidities（6 hypertension，2 coronary heart disease，5 diabetes mellitus，and 3 cerebrovascular diseases）and 12 had a smoking history. The mean body mass index（BMI）was（24.8 ± 3.2）kg/m 2. The maximum tumor diameter measured by enhanced computed tomography（CT）was（29.7 ± 12.7）mm. The preoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio（NLR）was 3.4 ± 3.2，and the systemic immune-inflammation index（SII）was（582 ± 496）× 10 9/L.Patients were divided into two groups according to the surgical approach：the radical cystectomy group（ n = 23）and the bladder-sparing group（ n = 10）. For the radical cystectomy group，there were 19 males and 4 females，with a mean age of（59.9 ± 12.6）years. Five patients had comorbidities（3 hypertension，1 coronary heart disease，1 diabetes mellitus，and 2 cerebrovascular diseases）. Eight patients had a smoking history，with a mean BMI of（25.2 ± 3.5）kg/m 2. The maximum tumor diameter was（33.6 ± 10.9）mm，the preoperative NLR was 3.5 ± 3.5，and the SII was（618 ± 558）× 10 9/L. For the bladder-sparing group，there were 9 males and 1 female，with a mean age of（64.5 ± 8.2）years. Seven patients had comorbidities（3 hypertension，1 coronary heart disease，4 diabetes mellitus，and 1 cerebrovascular diseases）. Four patients had a smoking history，with a mean BMI of（23.5 ± 2.3）kg/m 2. The maximum tumor diameter was（20.7 ± 12.5）mm，the preoperative NLR was 3.1 ± 2.2，and the SII was（501 ± 323）× 10 9/L. Statistically significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of comorbidities（ P = 0.008）and maximum tumor diameter（ P = 0.006），while no significant differences were found in other data（ P > 0.05）. The Kaplan-Meier survival curve was drawn，and Cox regression was used to analyze the prognostic factors of progression-free survival（PFS）and overall survival（OS）of patients. Results:Among the 33 patients，low-grade adenocarcinoma and high-grade adenocarcinoma accounted for 60.6% and 39.4% respectively according to the postoperative pathology，and 3 patients had positive surgical margins. There were 22 cases of muscle-invasive bladder adenocarcinoma，5 cases of lymph node metastasis，and 1 case of distant metastasis. The patients in tumor stages Ⅰ—Ⅳ were 9 cases（27.3%），8 cases（24.2%），7 cases（21.2%），and 9 cases（27.3%）respectively. Nine patients received postoperative adjuvant therapy，including 6 with adjuvant chemotherapy，2 with adjuvant chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy，and 1 with adjuvant immunotherapy. In the radical cystectomy group（ n = 23），there were 13 cases of low-grade and 10 cases of high-grade pathological grading，2 cases with positive margins，19 cases of muscle-invasive bladder adenocarcinoma，5 cases of lymph node metastasis，1 case of distant metastasis，and 5 patients received adjuvant therapy（4 cases of adjuvant chemotherapy，and 1 case of adjuvant immunotherapy）. In the bladder-sparing group（ n = 10），there were 7 cases of low-grade，3 cases of high-grade pathological grading，1 case with positive margins，3 cases of muscle-invasive bladder adenocarcinoma，zero lymph node or distant metastasis，and 4 patients received adjuvant therapy（2 cases of adjuvant chemotherapy，and 2 cases of combined adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy）. A statistically significant difference was found in the proportion of muscle-invasive bladder adenocarcinoma between the two groups（ P = 0.006），while no significant differences were observed in other data（ P > 0.05）.The median follow-up duration of the patients was 28.0 months，the median PFS was 86.0 months，and the median OS was 90.0 months. The 2-year PFS and OS were 65.4% and 73.1% respectively. The 5-year PFS and OS were 54.2% and 56.5% respectively. The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that there were no significant differences in PFS（ P = 0.777）and OS（ P = 0.585）between the radical cystectomy group and the bladder-preserving group. Female（ P = 0.011），BMI < 25 kg/m2（ P = 0.038），and positive surgical margins（ P < 0.01）were associated with poorer PFS. Aged ≥ 70 years（ P = 0.003），lymph node metastasis（ P = 0.041），and positive surgical margins（ P = 0.025）were associated with poorer OS，and patients in the adjuvant therapy group had better OS（ P = 0.005）. Multivariate Cox regression analysis indicated that positive surgical margins（HR 10.2， P = 0.012）were an independent impact factor for PFS，and positive surgical margins（HR 39.8， P = 0.001）and adjuvant therapy（HR 0.12， P = 0.021）were independent impact factors for OS. Conclusions:Positive surgical margins and adjuvant therapy are independent impact factors for the prognosis of patients with primary ACB.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the safety and prognostic factors influencing the treatment of upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) combined with bladder cancer (BCa) by laparoscopic simultaneous radical cystectomy and nephroureterectomy (RCNU). METHODS: The clinical data of patients admitted to Peking University Third Hospital for laparoscopic RCNU surgery from January 2009 to September 2023 were analyzed retrospectively. Based on the same gender, age (±5 years), history of uroepithelial tumors, underlying diseases, T-stage, N-stage, M-stage, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score, Charlson comorbidity index, and body mass index (BMI) (±5), 34 patients with RCNU were matched 1 ∶1 with patients with bladder cancer who underwent laparoscopic radical cystectomy (RC) alone. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to calculate patient survival, and Cox proportional regression risk model was used to analyze clinical factors affecting prognosis. RESULTS: Of the 68 patients enrolled, the follow-up rate was 100% with a median follow-up time of 27.0 (11.7, 60.2) months. Comparison of intraoperative conditions (including operation time, estimated intraoperative bleeding, intra-operative blood transfusion, etc.) between the two groups of patients showed no significant difference (P>0.05). Comparison of preoperative creatinine and postoperative creatinine between the two groups of patients showed significant differences (P < 0.05). The perioperative Clavien grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ complication rates were 2.9% (1/34) in the RC group and 5.9% (2/34) in the RCNU group. There was no significant difference in terms of perioperative complications between the two groups. Overall survival was significantly lower in the patients receiving RCNU compared with the matched group receiving RC alone (P < 0.05). Cox regression analysis suggested that two factors, high N stage and high postoperative creatinine, were independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients in the 2 groups (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION The overall survival prognosis of patients undergoing RCNU surgery was worse compared with laparoscopic RC surgery alone during the same period. There was no clinically significant difference between the two groups in terms of operation time, intraoperative bleeding, and perioperative complications, and there were clinically significant differences in preoperative renal function and post-operative renal function.

Vesical vaginal fistula is the most common urogenital fistula. This article reportd a case treating by transurethral intravesical suturing combined with vaginal anterior wall suturing. The patient was followed up for 6 months after surgery, showing no symptoms, normal urine flow, and no recurrence of fistula. This surgical approach is simple to perform, minimally invasive, and has a quick recovery, which suggests the feasibility of this procedure. However, large sample studies are needed to verify its efficacy and safety.
