Abstract

;The inflammatory changes following transurethral resection of primary bladder carcinoma cause reactive cytologic changes that make the diagnosis of well differentiated residual carcinoma more difficult. However, urinary cytology after transurethral resection has the same diagnostic accuracy for medium and poorly differentiated tumours as before primary resection and thus remains a very useful diagnostic tool.
