Conditions
Neoplasm of Lateral Wall of Urinary Bladder
Interventions
DEVICE

Bipolar transurethral resection of the urinary bladder (PlasmaKinetic, Gyrus, Fresenius)

Lateral wall urinary bladder tumors are resected transurethrally without obturator nerve block or relaxation under general anesthesia. If resection not possible because of adductor muscle contraction, patients undergo relaxation.

DEVICE

Monopolar transurethral resection of the urinary bladder (Storz GmbH &Co., Erbotom, Purisole)

Lateral wall urinary bladder tumors are resected transurethrally without obturator nerve block or relaxation under general anesthesia. If resection is not possible because of adductor muscle contraction, patients are treated by bipolar resection. If this is still not possible, they undergo relaxation.
