“…e disadvantages are the need to select the proper threshold, complete loss of information outside the threshold, unfavorable display of lesion details, and so on. Simulation of the gastrointestinal lumen is based on a predetermined threshold value, and the structures within the threshold value are formed into a simulated threedimensional reconstruction image, whose image resembles a barium-filled image [20]. e advantage is that the image is three-dimensional and intuitive, which can show the shape and contour of the organ, and the anatomical relationship is clear, which is conducive to the localization of the lesion [21].…”

Imaging methods for gastrointestinal diseases were based on X-ray imaging until the 1970s, but the development of fiberoptic endoscopy in the 1980s has replaced X-ray imaging. Endoscopy can directly observe the location, size, scope, and color of lesions and obtain pathological results through biopsy, while ligation and other treatments can be performed on polyps and other lesions. Studies have shown that multilayer spiral computed tomography (CT) examination after standardized gastrointestinal preparation and full use of the advantages of various 3D postprocessing reconstruction techniques are of great clinical value in the detection of gastrointestinal diseases, determination of the nature of lesions, localization of lesions, and staging of gastrointestinal malignancies and can make up for the shortcomings of fiberoptic endoscopy, and various 3D postprocessing reconstruction modes have their own advantages and disadvantages. Among them, conventional CT cross-sectional images are the basic images for the diagnosis of various gastric testicular lesions. Axial images, especially thin-layer axial images, can detect the absolute majority of lesions, but there are limitations in observing the anatomical position of lesions, invasion of surrounding tissues, lymph node metastasis, vascularity, and determination of the stage of malignant tumors.

“…Similar to lower tract UC, there is a paucity of data and literature related to the use of percutaneous biopsy for the diagnosis of UTUC. One of the few studies to date is a retrospective review of 42 patients over 8 yr by Joseph et al [5] at the Mayo Clinic. In this cohort, indications for percutaneous biopsy were provider preference, prior unsuccessful or nondiagnostic ureteroscopic biopsy, and prior cystectomy with a urinary conduit.…”

“…With that said, it is important to acknowledge that there have been rare case reports of percutaneous tract seeding in UTUC. Of 14 reported cases from 1986 to 2017, 12 occurred following percutaneous resection or placement of a nephrostomy tube, while two were after percutaneous biopsy [5] , [6] . A systematic review of 736 patients undergoing percutaneous or ureteroscopic treatment of UTUC found that the overall rate of tumor seeding with percutaneous treatment was 0.3% [7] .…”

Percutaneous biopsy can be used for tissue diagnosis of bladder tumors when cystoscopy with transurethral resection is not possible. The largest known case series includes 15 patients with no reported complications and good concordance with surgical pathology. However, concern remains regarding exposure of nonurothelial surfaces to tumor cells, as there are rare documented cases of tumor seeding along nephrostomy and biopsy tracts in upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UC). We present the first documented human case of bladder cancer involvement of the omentum and peritoneum along a biopsy tract and review the use of percutaneous access for upper and lower tract UC.

“…One study of 42 patients who underwent percutaneous biopsy of UTUC demonstrated no seeding (including 24% with noncoaxial technique biopsy). 20 A review of 26 patients who underwent percutaneous biopsy also demonstrated no episodes of seeding. 21 More directly relevant to the work described here, a retrospective analysis comparing 25 patients with UTUC who underwent nephrostomy placement with 639 who did not, demonstrated similar oncologic outcomes whether or not nephrostomy was placed.…”
