Abstract

For the diagnosis and treatment of bladder cancer, transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TURBT) is the cornerstone. It enables the determination of the tumor's grade and stage. It also removes the tumor mass, which relieves the patient of the symptoms of disease. The conventional method has been used extensively for TURBT. It involves piecemeal resection (cTURBT)
One benefit of the technique is that it requires less time to operate. It has certain drawbacks, such as the possibility of artifacts from cauterization and a higher chance of missed CIS. The risk of tumor cells spreading as it cut through tumor. A significant rate of muscularis propria absence. A significant risk of bladder perforation after obturator nerve stimulation. To counteract the drawbacks of traditional resection, a novel resection technique has been employed and named En bloc resection (EBRT or eTURB).

Aim:
The work's objective was to assess how various methods of transurethral resection of bladder tumors affected the surgical and pathological results.
