Endoscopic biopsy of the pelvis, ureter, or bladder
Tumors of the upper urinary tract are quite rare and in most cases are represented by urothelial cancer. In the early stages, oncology of the renal pelvis, ureter, and bladder develops imperceptibly. The primary symptom is gross hematuria (the presence of bloody discharge), which always requires further examination of the patient since it is also detected in other diseases of the genitourinary system.
The development of modern endoscopic equipment and its widespread introduction into urological practice has significantly improved the early diagnosis of upper urinary tract neoplasms. If urine cytology is positive and there is no visible source of malignant cells, a biopsy is performed.
Technique for endoscopic biopsy in Ukraine
No preparation is required for an endoscopic biopsy, except for emptying the bladder before starting the procedure. The patient sits in a special chair, or lies on his back on a cystoscopic table, bending his knees and spreading them apart. The urologist treats the genitals with an antiseptic solution to avoid infection during the procedure. The patient is given local anesthesia and an antibiotic can be given once. Then the specialist gently, with careful, smooth movements introduces the urethroscope (a narrow tube with an optical and lighting system) lubricated with lubricant, through the urethra into the bladder, ureter, to the renal pelvis and takes pieces of tissue for cytological examination (biopsy). If the patient wishes, the manipulation can be carried out under sedation, in a dream.
The cost of a biopsy of the renal pelvis, ureter, and bladder in Kyiv is individual in each case. The cost of a biopsy depends on the type of anesthesia and the number of biopsy sites.
