Advanced TURBT Surgery

TURBT (Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumours) is the primary treatment choice for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer cases. Doctors use this essential procedure to diagnose and remove cancerous tissue from the bladder with minimal invasion.

The surgery takes anywhere from 15 to 90 minutes with either general or spinal anaesthesia. TURBT surgery's safety record should reassure patients, as complications occur in very few patients. These mainly include urinary tract infections and bleeding. New imaging methods like blue light cystoscopy have boosted tumour detection and lowered the chance of cancer coming back compared to standard approaches. Newer techniques like en bloc resection show promise in reducing complications and achieving better results.

Best TURBT Surgery Doctors in India

State-of-the-art Surgical Breakthroughs at CARE Hospital

CARE Hospitals' state-of-the-art equipment and advanced technologies improve surgical outcomes consistently. High-definition endoscopic cameras provide superior visualisation during procedures. Blue-light cystoscopy (BLC) options have improved tumour detection rates compared to standard methods. This advanced method reduces the recurrence rate of the cancer.

Conditions for TURBT Surgery

TURBT works as both a diagnostic and treatment procedure for patients with:

  • Early-stage bladder cancer
  • Visible bladder tumours - available via cystoscope
  • Non-muscle invasive bladder cancer requiring diagnosis or treatment

CARE Hospitals' doctors recommend TURBT during the early stages of bladder cancer when tumours exist only within the bladder. Specialists can remove tumours while preserving the bladder in most cases.

Types of TURBT Procedures

CARE Hospitals tailors various TURBT approaches to each patient's needs:

  • Conventional TURBT: A resectoscope inserted through the urethra locates and removes tumours in pieces
  • Bipolar TURBT: Bipolar electrocautery reduces complications and eliminates the need for hypotonic irrigation solutions
  • En Bloc TURBT: The entire tumour removal happens as one piece, which improves pathological assessment and can lower recurrence rates
  • Laser TURBT: Laser energy replaces electrocautery to offer shorter operative times and decrease bleeding risk

CARE Hospitals combines world-class diagnostic services with economical clinical care. This ensures patients receive the most suitable TURBT procedure for their condition.

Know the Procedure

A good understanding of each stage helps patients approach the procedure confidently.

Pre-surgery Preparation

Patients need to follow these guidelines before their procedure:

  • Your doctor will tell you when to stop blood thinners 
  • Don't eat anything 8 hours before surgery
  • You can have clear fluids up to 3 hours before surgery
  • Take your approved medications with small sips of water
  • Skip lotions, perfumes or deodorants on the day of surgery

TURBT Surgical Procedure

The surgery usually takes 15-90 minutes. Your surgeon will:

  • Induce general or spinal anaesthesia
  • Put a thin, lighted instrument (cystoscope) through your urethra
  • Fill your bladder with fluid to see better
  • Remove tumours using a resectoscope with a wire loop
  • Use heat to stop bleeding
  • Place a catheter to drain urine and prevent clotting

Post-surgery Recovery

Right after surgery, you might have:

Most patients go home the same day or after a one-night stay. Full recovery takes about six weeks, but most patients can work again within 2-3 days. You should avoid heavy lifting and hard activities for about 3 weeks.

Risks and Complications

TURBT is a safe procedure with a lower complication rate. Common problems include:

  • Bleeding 
  • Bladder perforation 
  • Urinary tract infections 
  • Lower urinary tract symptoms 

Rare but serious complications might include major bleeding that needs additional procedures or bladder perforation.

You should contact your doctor right away if you have a fever above 101°F, chills, severe nausea, vomiting, or can't urinate after the procedure. These symptoms could point to complications that need urgent medical care.

Benefits Of TURBT Surgery

TURBT comes with many advantages:

  • No cuts outside the body
  • Minimal invasion
  • Your bladder works normally 
  • Doctors can diagnose and treat at once
  • Most patients go home the same day
  • The procedure can be done again if needed

Insurance Assistance for TURBT Surgery

Most health insurance plans cover TURBT since it's needed to treat bladder cancer. All the same, you should check your coverage details and understand your possible costs beforehand.

Second Opinion for TURBT Surgery

A specialist uropathologist's second opinion changes treatment plans for most patients. For bladder cancer patients, many get different treatment suggestions when they ask another doctor. This shows why you should talk to specialists at complete cancer centres before starting treatment.
