Overview

Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumour (TURBT) is a key, minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose, stage, and treat bladder cancer. At KIMS-Sunshine Hospitals, this advanced technique allows for precise removal of cancerous tissue, offering patients a highly effective treatment with minimal recovery time. 

Whether you’re dealing with early-stage bladder cancer or recurrent tumours, TURBT can help clear the bladder of tumours while preserving its function. As the best oncology hospital in Hyderabad, KIMS-Sunshine ensures that every step of your bladder cancer treatment is handled with expert precision and compassion, combined with personalised care and cutting-edge medical technology.

Procedure

At KIMS-Sunshine Hospitals, TURBT is performed with precision and care using state-of-the-art technology. Here’s what you can expect:

  1. Minimally Invasive Approach: A specialised scope is inserted through the urethra, eliminating the need for external incisions.
  2. Tumour Removal: The surgeon carefully removes bladder tumours, whether small or large, using high-frequency electrical energy.
  3. Tissue Sampling: During the procedure, samples may be taken for biopsy to accurately assess the stage and grade of cancer.
  4. Coagulation: Any bleeding points are treated using cauterization to prevent post-procedure complications.
  5. Recovery: The procedure is typically completed within an hour, with most patients discharged on the same day.

This meticulous approach ensures that patients receive top-notch care with minimal discomfort and downtime.

Who is this procedure for?

At KIMS-Sunshine Hospitals, TURBT is a highly recommended treatment option for:

  1. Early-Stage Bladder Cancer Patients: Ideal for removing non-muscle invasive bladder tumours.
  2. Recurrent Bladder Cancer: Effective for patients whose bladder cancer has returned after previous treatments.
  3. Diagnosis & Staging: Suitable for those requiring tumour biopsy to determine the stage and grade of their cancer.
  4. Tumour Size and Number: Beneficial for patients with both single or multiple tumours, regardless of size.
  5. Minimally Invasive Needs: Perfect for those seeking a procedure with quick recovery and minimal impact on bladder function.

TURBT offers a safe, reliable option for bladder cancer patients looking for expert care and faster recovery.

Why Choose Transurethral resection?

Choosing TURBT for bladder cancer treatment at KIMS-Sunshine Hospitals offers several key advantages:

  1. Minimally Invasive: No external cuts, faster recovery, and less pain compared to traditional surgeries.
  2. Accurate Diagnosis & Treatment: Allows precise removal of tumours and thorough biopsy to determine the cancer stage.
  3. Preserves Bladder Function: Helps maintain bladder integrity while effectively removing cancerous tissue.
  4. Quick Recovery: Most patients can return home the same day, with minimal downtime.

At KIMS-Sunshine, TURBT combines precision with patient comfort, offering a reliable option for early-stage and recurrent bladder cancer.

Understanding the Risks

While Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumour (TURBT) is a safe and minimally invasive procedure, it’s important to be aware of potential risks:

  1. Bleeding: Mild to moderate bleeding can occur, but it’s typically well-managed and resolves within a few days.
  2. Infection: As with any procedure, there’s a slight risk of urinary tract infections, which can be treated with antibiotics.
  3. Bladder Perforation: Rarely, the bladder wall may be punctured, but this usually heals on its own with rest.
  4. Recurrence of Tumours: Bladder cancer can return, requiring follow-up treatments or additional TURBTs.
  5. Urinary Symptoms: Temporary discomfort, frequent urination, or urgency may occur post-procedure but usually subside in a short time.

At KIMS-Sunshine Hospitals, our team takes every precaution to minimise these risks, ensuring a smooth and safe recovery for each patient.

Post-Surgery Recovery

At KIMS-Sunshine Hospitals, we prioritise your smooth and speedy recovery following TURBT. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Same-Day Discharge: Most patients can go home within a few hours after the procedure.
  • Mild Discomfort: Some mild pain or discomfort during urination is normal and typically subsides within a few days.
  • Rest & Hydration: Adequate rest and drinking plenty of fluids are essential for flushing out the bladder and speeding up healing.
  • Follow-Up Care: Regular follow-ups are scheduled to monitor recovery and ensure there are no signs of recurrence.
  • Return to Routine: You can usually return to normal activities within a week, though strenuous exercise should be avoided initially.

Our team is dedicated to providing personalised post-surgery care to ensure your recovery is both swift and stress-free.
