Understanding the impact of TURBT on quality of life and patient experiences is crucial for shared decision-making, thus enhanced recovery protocol trials are being explored to improve patient outcomes. The variability in TURBT practices worldwide contributes to differing bladder tumor recurrence rates, prompting efforts to standardize practices by evaluating the impact of patient, hospital, and surgeon factors. For select cases, less intensive surveillance regimens have reduced toxicities and costs without compromising oncologic outcomes. New innovative approaches such as en bloc- and stratified resection techniques may reduce perioperative complications and improve clinical outcomes.

TURBT is essential for diagnosing and treating bladder cancer.
