ABSTRACT
CONTEXT Radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) with bladder cuff resection is the standard treatment in patients with high-risk upper tract urothelial cancer (UTUC). However, it is unclear which specific surgical technique may lead to improve oncological outcomes in term of intravesical recurrence (IVR) in patients with UTUC. OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate the efficacy of surgical techniques and approaches of RNU in reducing IVR in UTUC patients. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION Three databases were queried in January 2024 for studies analyzing UTUC patients who underwent RNU. The primary outcome of interest was the rate of IVR among various types of surgical techniques and approaches of RNU. EVIDENCESYNTHESIS:
Thirty-one studies, comprising 1 randomized controlled trial and 1 prospective study, were included for a systematic review and meta-analysis. The rate of IVR was significantly lower in RNU patients who had an early ligation (EL) of the ureter compared to those who did not (HR 0.64, 95% CI 0.44-0.94, p = 0.02). Laparoscopic RNU significantly increased the IVR compared to open RNU (HR 1.28, 95% CI 1.06-1.54, p < 0.001). Intravesical bladder cuff removal significantly reduced the IVR compared to both extravesical and transurethral bladder cuff removal (HR 0.65, 95% CI 0.51-0.83, p = 0.02 and HR 1.64, 95% CI 1.15-2.34, p = 0.006, respectively).CONCLUSIONS:
EL of the affected upper tract system, ureteral management, open RNU, and intravesical bladder cuff removal seem to yield the lowest IVR rate in patients with UTUC. Well-designed prospective studies are needed to conclusively elucidate the optimal surgical technique in the setting of single post-operative intravesical chemotherapy.Palabras clave
