[Transurethral electrovaporization-ablation of superficial bladder carcinoma].
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.
