Understanding TURBT Treatment

Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumor (TURBT) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat bladder cancer. It involves the removal of tumors or abnormal tissue from the bladder lining through the urethra, which is the tube that carries urine out of the body. Unlike traditional surgery, TURBT does not require large incisions, which allows for a quicker recovery and less postoperative pain.

Procedure Overview:

At Emirates Hospitals Group, we are dedicated to providing exceptional care for bladder cancer with the expertise of the best urologists in Dubai.

• Preparation: Before the procedure, patients may undergo various tests, including urine analysis, cystoscopy, and imaging studies, to assess the extent of the tumor and plan the surgery.
• Anesthesia: TURBT is typically performed under general or spinal anesthesia, ensuring the patient is comfortable and pain-free during the procedure.
• Resection: During TURBT, a cystoscope (a thin, flexible tube with a camera) is inserted through the urethra to visualize the bladder. The surgeon uses specialized instruments to remove the tumor and any affected tissue.
• Post-Procedure: After tumor removal, the bladder is often irrigated to clear out any debris and to assess bleeding. A catheter may be placed temporarily to help drain urine.

Benefits of TURBT Treatment:

• Minimally Invasive: The procedure is performed through the urethra, eliminating the need for large incisions and reducing recovery time.
• Effective Tumor Removal: TURBT allows for the precise removal of tumors from the bladder, which can help alleviate symptoms and reduce the risk of cancer progression.
• Diagnostic Value: The procedure provides a biopsy of the tumor, allowing for accurate staging and grading of the cancer, which is crucial for determining the appropriate treatment plan.
• Shorter Recovery Time: Patients typically experience less postoperative pain and a quicker return to normal activities compared to traditional surgical methods.
• Preservation of Bladder Function: Since TURBT is performed through the urethra, it helps to preserve bladder function and minimizes the impact on the surrounding tissues.
