TURBT (Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumor) is an advanced endoscopic procedure used for the evaluation and treatment of bladder tumors without external surgical cuts. A thin surgical instrument is inserted through the urethra to identify and remove abnormal growths from the bladder lining. This procedure helps confirm diagnosis, assess tumor depth, and guide further treatment if required. Performed by a skilled urologist and andrologist, TURBT focuses on precise tumor removal while maintaining bladder health and function. Patients benefit from minimal pain, quicker recovery, reduced hospital stay, and effective management of early-stage bladder tumors through timely intervention.
Patients may be advised to fast for a few hours before surgery and temporarily stop certain medications as guided by the doctor.
Yes, TURBT is generally safe and commonly performed in elderly patients due to its minimally invasive nature.
Small and early-stage tumors can often be completely removed during the procedure.
No external stitches are required since the procedure is performed internally through the urethra.
The catheter is usually removed within 24–72 hours depending on healing and urine clarity.
