A transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) is an endoscopic procedure used to diagnose, stage, and treat early tumors of the bladder. A resectoscope is passed into the bladder via the urethra and used to remove visible tumor.

Labs and studies
Operating room setup
Patient preparation and premedication
Regional and neuraxial techniques
- Can be performed under spinal anesthesia
- Spinal anesthesia will not eliminate
Intraoperative management
Monitoring and access
- PIV x1
Induction and airway management
- If GA, ETT vs. LMA
- Surgeon may request sustained muscle relaxation to limit movement from obturator nerve stimulation
Positioning
- Lithotomy
Maintenance and surgical considerations
- Stimulation of the obturator nerve can cause significant movement, which creates risk of bladder perforation
- Risk increased if tumor involves lateral wall of the bladder
- To avoid this reflex, muscle relaxation is often used
- However, studies have shown that TIVA with LMA is a safe, reliable, and controllable method for maintenance of anesthesia with blunting of the obturator reflex[1]
Emergence
Postoperative management
Disposition
- PACU
Pain management
Potential complications
- Bladder perforation (most serious complication)
- Urethral rupture or false passage
- Bleeding
- Reabsorption
