What is TURBT Surgery?

Transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TURBT), also known as bladder cancer surgery, is a method used to diagnose and treat bladder cancer simultaneously. It involves using a cystoscope to remove and biopsy the tumor, which is then sent for examination to determine the stage and grade of the cancer. The procedure doesn’t require incisions, as the scope passes through the urethra to reach the bladder. TURBT is the main treatment for non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer, detecting if it has spread into the muscle layer of the bladder wall.

Evaluation of suspected bladder lesions, staging of bladder cancer, measuring tumor depth, treatment planning for bladder tumors, initial treatment for the majority of non-muscle invasive bladder cancers (NMIBC), and palliative care for advanced bladder cancers constitute some of the TURBT indications.

TURBT Procedure, Recovery, and Post-procedure Care

Preparation:

Before the surgical procedure, the patient will be counseled on the proposed surgical intervention and asked about their history of illnesses, risk factors, or any other potential risks of the surgery. The doctor will conduct a general physical examination and possibly run tests including blood and urine to understand the patient’s status before the surgery can be performed.

During the TUBRT Surgery

The TURBT procedure could be done under general anesthesia. A catheter could be placed to release a special dye that would color the bladder and thus make the tumor easier for the surgeon to see. A scope is placed inside the bladder, the tumor is cut out with a cutting device, and the area is electrocautered to stop any bleeding. The surgeon may also place a catheter to drain fluids and prevent blood clots if necessary.

After the surgery

The patient will stay in a recovery room for some time after TURBT surgery under observation until the anesthesia dissolves and the patient’s vital signs stabilize. A catheter may be placed in the bladder, usually removed within 24 hours, to allow urine drainage. Pain management is administered for urethral or lower abdomen discomfort and burning sensations.

TURBT recovery time

Recovery from TURBT surgery can take up to six weeks to fully recover, with the first week or two being the most critical. It’s recommended to wait at least two weeks before gradually returning to normal activities.

Post-procedure care

Pain medications.
Activity restriction for several weeks.
Catheter removal within 24 hours.
Gradual resumption of an oral diet, liquids initially.
Rest and activity balancing for best recovery.
Showers permitted; baths and pools not recommended.
Keep the incision area clean and dry according to the doctor’s instructions.

Frequently Asked Questions

The procedure TURBT, which usually does not last for more than an hour, employs total general anesthesia so that the patient can be put to sleep and the doctor intracorporeally uses a resectoscope to access the bladder.

No, TURBT is a minimally invasive procedure to be carried out with a thin instrument through the urethra so that patients can be discharged from the hospital on the same day following recovery. It is also an outpatient procedure with a very short recovery period to enable the resumption of normal activities soon afterwards.

In fact, during TURBT, the patient should not feel pain because of the anesthesia—general or spinal. After the surgery, there might be discomfort in urination, lower abdominal pain, and discomfort at the site of the catheter that resolves with medication.

TURBT is less painful, provides an unobstructed view of the bladder lining, allows for prompt treatment of cancers, obtaining histological samples, has a shorter rehabilitation period, and brings back to the usual rhythm of life significantly faster.

TURBT is ideal for treating non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), but may not be suitable for advanced stages, such as muscle-invasive bladder cancer or high-risk NMIBC, where additional treatments like chemotherapy or immunotherapy may be recommended.
