Efficacy and Safety of Transurethral Laser Surgery Versus Transurethral Resection for Non-Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer: A Meta-Analysis and Systematic Review

“…By reading the full text of 38 cations, 17 studies were eventually included [14-16, 21-34], comprising 2,439 participants. Of the 17 studies, 6 were RCT [23-25, 27, 29, 32] and the rest were retrospective cohort studies [14-16, 21, 22, 26, 28, 30, 31, 33, 34]. The included studies ranged from 2010 to 2018, with a median follow-up of 24 months (range: 12–64 months).…”

“…A total of 14 studies [14-16, 21-26, 29-32, 34], involving 1,847 patients, showed that the incidence of obturator nerve reflex during transurethral laser surgery was significantly lower than with TURBT through a fixed-effects model meta-analysis (OR = 0.04; 95% CI 0.02–0.09; p < 0.00001). I 2 = 0% meant that no significant heterogeneity was found (Fig.…”

“…A total of 12 studies [14-16, 22-25, 29-32, 34] reported the rate of bladder perforation, and the fixed-effects model meta-analysis showed that the risk of bladder perforation in transurethral laser surgery was only 0.09 times that of TURBT (OR = 0.09; 95% CI 0.04–0.23; p < 0.00001). I 2 = 0 meant that no significant heterogeneity was found (Fig.…”

“…A total of 15 studies [14-16, 21-23, 25, 26, 28-34] reported the postoperative urinary catheter retention time, and 13 reported the postoperative hospitalization time [14-16, 21-23, 25, 28, 29, 31-34]. Meta-analysis of the random-effects model showed that the postoperative catheterization time (MD = –1.05; 95% CI –1.41 to –0.68; p < 0.00001) (Fig.…”

Management of T1 Urothelial Carcinoma of the Bladder: What Do We Know and What Do We Need To Know?

“…En bloc resection, which consists of removing an entire tumor in one piece, aims to enhance diagnostic accuracy and provide an oncologic benefit through complete resection without spillage of tumor cells [ 48 ]. Originally described using monopolar electrocautery [ 49 ], it has also been performed using laser resection [ 50–52 ], and with a water-jet-aided hydrodissection technique for larger tumors [ 53 ]. Oncologic outcomes are currently under investigation in a randomized trial [ 54 ].…”
