2 27 2 Tishreen University Journal for Research and Scientific Studies - Medical Sciences Series Vol. (3) No. (٣) 28 Experience of Al-Asad University Hospital, Lattakia, in the Management of Bladder Cancer during 2-27 Dr. Mohammad Youssef (Received 23 / 4 / 28. Accepted 21/7/28) ABSTRACT The trial included patients(2males,8females) with bladder cancer (mean age: 62. years).the majority were chain smokers (7%). They suffered hematuria (1%) and voiding obstructive symptoms (7%). They were diagnosed by cystoscopy. We noticed a small tumor in 8% and multiple tumors in %. There were Ta, T1, T2, T3 and T4 in 36%, 31%, 2%, 6.6%, respectively. There were G1, G2, G3 in 38%, 43%, 18% ;respectively. The TUR BT was performed in 66% of the cases with intravesical adjuvant chemotherapy, and the radical cystectomy was performed for 28% and in 3% of cases we performed a partial cystectomy. The Ureterosigmoidostomy was performed for 7 patients, and the orthotropic urinary diversion was performed in 6 cases. The Cutaneous Ureterostomy was performed for 2 patients and we performed a1continent Cathaterizable Reservoir and a 1 Bricker's procedure. Keywords: Bladder Cancer, TUR, Intravesical Adjuvant Therapy, Urinary Diversion * Professor, Department of Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, Tishreen University, Lattakia, Syria. ٠
