Abstract
Transitional cell carcinoma is often multicentric in the urinary tract and urethral tumours are not infrequent in bladder cancer patients. The occurrence of urethral carcinoma is simultaneous or recurrent after radical cystectomy. The management of urethral neoplasms and results of 12 simultaneous and 10 post-cystectomy cases treated with perineal urethrectomy are reported. The Authors debate the role of primary and secondary surgical treatment and the perineal or prepubic technique. One case of urethral recurrence after orthotopic bladder substitution emphasizes that patients must be accurately evaluated to exclude urethral disease before cystoprostatectomy, and monitored for carcinoma of urethral remnant.
