[Usefulness of cold ureteral biopsy during radical cystectomy as a predictor of recurrence risk: Review of our series.]

CONCLUSIONS: In our study, the presence of positive ureteral margins was not associated with an increased risk of recurrence in the anastomosis or UUT. Although it remains a topic for debate, a strategy to follow may be to adapt ureteral cold biopsies to individual risk, thus perform it in patients with bladder CIS.
