summary

Sixteen patients are analysed in whom bladder tumours situated in the ure­teral orifice (group I) and 11 with tumours situated in its direct vicinity (group II) were removed by electroresection. In 11 cases vesicoureteral reflux developed (75%) in group I, and in only one case (9.9%) in group II. Stricture of the ureteral orifice was not observed. Presence of vesicoureteral reflux had no effect on the postoperative course.
