title: Endoscopic enucleation of leiomyoma of the bladder.
abstract: A case of benign leiomyoma of the urinary bladder was discovered incidentally and treated successfully with endoscopic enucleation. We describe the technique of this new surgical approach and discuss its advantages. We recommend this minimally invasive approach over open surgical resection.
