TURBT (Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumor) is a surgical procedure used to remove tumors from the inner layers of the bladder. This procedure is usually performed on patients who have bladder cancer that does not infiltrate muscle.
🔹How does the procedure work?
The patient is under anesthesia during the procedure, including local anesthesia or general anesthesia, depending on the cases and needs.
• The doctor uses an instrument called a cystoscope, which is inserted into the bladder through the urethra. This allows the doctor to look directly inside the bladder.
• Through the cystoscope, equipped with optical fibers, the doctor uses a special electrode to remove the tumor from inside the bladder. The removed part is then sent for biopsy to confirm the diagnosis of malignancy.
• The doctor also has the opportunity to check the deep layers of the bladder to ensure that the tumors have been successfully removed and to assess the depth of their extension.
🔹TURBT is often an effective treatment for bladder tumors that do not infiltrate muscle.
A regular evaluation of the patient is necessary to monitor the health and detect signs of any possible recurrence of the cancer.
