title: Resection of papillary transitional cell carcinoma using endoscopic snare.
abstract: We describe a method to remove papillary transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder using an adapted colonoscopic snare for transurethral electroresection. This method permits safe and accurate resection of papillary bladder tumors without the complications associated with the use of the resectoscope.
