Intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) has become the preferred initial treatment after resection of high-grade T1 urothelial carcinoma and carcinoma in situ (CIS). We report the case of a patient with high-grade T1 urothelial carcinoma and CIS who was treated with intravesical BCG. Due to the patient's severe urge incontinence, however, the BCG solution leaked from the bladder immediately upon instillation. We describe our experience of using botulinum neurotoxin A intradetrusor injections to facilitate successful intravesical therapy by increasing bladder capacity to enable the BCG to remain in the patient's bladder for the appropriate treatment duration.
膀胱内灌注卡介苗(BCG)已成为高级别T1期尿路上皮癌和原位癌(CIS)切除术后的首选初始治疗方法。我们报告了一例接受膀胱内BCG治疗的高级别T1期尿路上皮癌和CIS患者的病例。然而,由于患者严重的急迫性尿失禁,BCG溶液在灌注后立即从膀胱漏出。我们描述了我们使用肉毒杆菌神经毒素A膀胱逼尿肌内注射的经验,通过增加膀胱容量,使BCG能够在患者膀胱内保留适当的治疗时间,从而促进膀胱内治疗的成功。
