“…This study confirms our previous finding that a combination of transabdominal and transrectal ultrasound can be used in the out-patient department to detect recurrent bladder tumours (Davies et al, 1990). It must be remembered that flexible cystoscopy, although representing an advance on rigid cystoscopy, still has some degree of morbidity (Fowler, 1984;Flannigan et al, 1988) and the latter workers showed that patients preferred flexible to rigid cystoscopy, with only 11% favouring rigid cystoscopy under general anaesthesia.…”

A combination of transrectal and transabdominal ultrasound was compared with flexible cystoscopy as a means of detecting recurrent bladder tumours. The study group comprised 50 patients who had previously had rigid cystoscopy. They underwent combination ultrasound in the out-patient department 1 week before flexible cystoscopy. Combination ultrasound identified 25 patients with recurrent tumours and flexible cystoscopy identified 26. Thirty-four patients (68%) preferred ultrasound, 10 (20%) preferred flexible cystoscopy, 3 (6%) preferred general anaesthesia and rigid cystoscopy and 3 (6%) had no preference. The main objection to ultrasound was the use of the transrectal probe.

During the period 1987-1992, 99 patients with benign bladder tumours were followed regularly with transabdominal ultrasound of the bladder and out-patient flexible cystoscopy. Thirty-five patients had recurrent bladder tumours, but in only one case was there progression to invasive tumour. Seventy-six per cent of the recurrences were diagnosed by flexible cystoscopy while 22% were found by ultrasound. Compared to conventional follow-up programs with in-patient rigid cystoscopy the combination of ultrasound and flexible cystoscopy proved to be safe, highly acceptable by the patients and cost-effective.
