Features of the early postoperative period after transurethral bladder en-block resection using a thulium fiber laser
Abstract
Purpose. To study the immediate postoperative results of using a thulium fiber laser for transurethral en-bloc resection of the bladder.
Material and methods. Transurethral resection of the bladder for bladder neoplasm was performed on 184 patients with an average age of 62.4 (35–84) years old, 91 (49.5%) patients underwent en-bloc transurethral resection of the bladder using a thulium fiber laser (group 1), 93 (50.5%) patients underwent transurethral bipolar resection of the bladder (group 2).
Results. The average operative and hospitalization times were comparable between the patient groups. In group 1, a decrease in the incidence of obturator syndrome, duration of irrigation and catheterization of the bladder was observed (p<0.05). The muscle layer in the preparation was found in 83 (91.2%) cases in group 1, 74 (79.6%) in group 2 patients.
Conclusions. The use of a thulium fiber laser for transurethral en-bloc resection of the bladder reduces the incidence of intraoperative complications, the time for irrigation and catheterization of the bladder after surgery and provides high-quality material for histological examination.
