Transurethral resection of a bladder tumor in pregnancy: a report of 2 cases.
Carcinoma of the urinary bladder presenting during pregnancy is rare. We report two such cases presenting with gross hematuria, both of which were managed by transurethral electroresection of the tumor; there was no adverse effect on the pregnancies. Transurethral resection thus appears to be the procedure of choice in the management of this condition, and carries minimal morbidity even when performed during pregnancy.
