Abstract

Objective: The primary aim of the study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of bipolar energy in transurethral resection of bladder tumors (bTURBT). Patients and methods: This is a prospective study that was done between October 2015 and November 2018. 62 patients of none muscle invasive bladder cancer to undergo bipolar TURBT using saline irrigation solutions. Results:  Male 80,7%, Female 19,3%. Mean age 61,9 ± 15,1. Smoking history 40,3%. Ultrasound: detection tumor 77,6%. CT scanner: detection tumor 97,7%. Cystoscopy: detection tumor 100%. Histopathological: Stage Tis 1,6%, Ta 91,9%, T1 6,5%, Grade G1 80,7%, G2 17,7%, G3 1,6%. Treatment result: Good 96.8% (60 cases), moderate 3.2% (2 cases). Recurrence – one year follow result: recurrence rate:12.9% (8/62). Conclusion: Bipolar TURBT is safe and efficacious in managing bladder tumours.
