TRANSURETHRAL LASER EN BLOC RESECTION OF THE BLADDER IN THE TREATMENT OF NON-MUSCLE INVASIVE BLADDER CANCER
Abstract
Bladder cancer is a common disease in the world and the Russian Federation. The most common is its non-muscle invasive form, the main treatment of which is transurethral resection of the bladder followed by intravesical chemotherapy. The peculiarity of this operation is the gradual removal of the tumor, which leads to a fragmented histological specimen and various complications in the postoperative period. Transurethral removal of a bladder tumor using an en-bloc method, is not inferior to traditional surgery in terms of results and has some advantages over traditional surgery, namely in reducing intra- and postoperative complications, obtaining a high-quality specimen for histological examination. The use of holmium and thulium lasers for the en-bloc removal of a bladder tumor provides additional advantages in treatment outcomes.
The review presents world data on the possibilities of using the surgical method and the use of modern lasers in transurethral resection of the bladder using the en-bloc method.
