Abstract

Transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TURBT) is a procedure performed to diagnose and stage bladder cancer (BCa) and to resect all visible tumors. This chapter is focused on TURBT surgical technique, possible complications, and available tools which can improve the quality of resection to correctly stage the neoplasm and to reduce recurrences and progressions of non-muscle-invasive BCa.
