Abstract

Croatia, as many other countries, is facing an increased number of cancer patients, and especially bladder cancer is showing more than double-fold increase in incidence. In this retrospective study we analysed all patients operated at our Clinic from 1994-2003 due to urinary bladder cancer or cancer of the collecting system. The total of 84 patients, predominately women with the average age of 70,2 were operated for cancer of the collecting system. 1079 patients were operated for bladder cancer, 41 of them underwent cystectomy and the other were treated by means of transurethral resection and the average age of all patients was 66,3 years. We had two bladder perforations, and two deaths after cystectomy. Overall, all descriptive factors of our patients were as expected.
