In patients with inoperable cancer of the urinary bladder complicated by uretherohydronephrosis, chronic pyelonephritis, chronic renal failure, profuse bleedings from the tumor and pronounced dysuria, the supravesical derivation of urine is thought to be vitally indicated in spite of the unfavourable prognosis of the basic disease. First, it is necessary to provide the adequate drainage of the upper urinary ducts and kidneys followed by making favourable conditions for their longer and good functioning.
