[Radiation diagnosis of urological complications in patients with endometrial and cervical carcinoma].

Patients receiving radical surgery or combined radiotherapy suffer from such grave postoperative urological complications as radiation-related cystitis, urinary bladder dysfunction, "shrunken" bladder, fistula, chronic renal failure, ureteral stricture and sexual disorders which affect the quality of life. Changes in function of the urinary tracts in patients with endometrial and cervical carcinoma were followed throughout the course of combined treatment. Complex examination comprised urological history, ureteral features, urinalysis, blood count, ultrasound, combined urodynamic study, nephroscintigraphy combined with excretory urography, and cystoscopy, when required. Due to all those measures, complication rates decreased while the quality of life improved.
