title: The essentials of transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TUR-B).
abstract: The technique of transurethral resection of bladder tumors has to follow certain rules to guarantee that all parts of the bladder are visualized, that small tumors are completely removed and large tumors resected without complications. A second resection 6-8 weeks after the first procedure seems to be necessary for complete tumor removal even in case of low stage cancer.
