title: [Transurethral electrovaporization-ablation of superficial bladder carcinoma].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To observe short-term curative effect of transurethral electrovaporization-ablation of superficial bladder carcinoma.
  
  
  METHODS
  82 cases of superficial bladder carcinoma were treated using transurethral electrovaporization-ablation.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The mean operative time was 36 min. One patient was complicated with extraperitoneal bladder perforation. No patients experienced TUR syndrome and severe hemorrhage. During the follow up for 2-18 months, 3 patients had recurrence respectively at 7, 8 and 10 months after the operation.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Cut-electrode had vaporization and ablation with smooth surface of the wound and speed. The advantage includes safety, few complication, evident efficacy, and short hospitalization.
