These include percutaneous drainage of hydronephrosis or abscesses, double-J stenting for hydronephrosis, definitive local extirpative treatment of the affected part of a kidney (cavernotomy/partial nephrectomy) and epididymis (epididymectomy). Many forms of reconstructive surgery of the upper urinary tract (uretero-calycostomy, ureteric reimplantation, ileal ureteric replacement) and the lower urinary tract have been described. Nephrectomy is performed in 27% of UGTB patients and the frequency is similar in developing and developed countries. Radical and reconstructive procedures should be done within the first two months of intensive chemotherapy. A contracted bladder may need augmentation cystoplasty or even cystectomy if the capacity is less than 100 ml.
