SUMMARY1 Six cases of recurrence of carcinoma of the bladder occurring in the urethra are presented. Three of these were in the posterior and three in the anterior urethra. 2 Another five cases are presented which developed metastases in the prostatic cavity after a prostatectomy had been performed in the presence of a carcinoma of the bladder. 3 Fifteen cases of recurrence of carcinoma of the bladder in the scar of an open operation are discussed. 4 After approximately 5 per cent. of open operations on the bladder the first recurrence was in the scar. 5 Methods of preventing implantation metastases from urinary cancer are discussed.
