Endoscopic resection of lesion of bladder

An endoscopic resection of bladder is a minimally-invasive operation to remove parts of the bladder.  

Who is suitable for an endoscopic resection of lesion of bladder?

This treatment is most commonly used to treat patients with bladder cancer. Removal of the effected lesions aims to treat your bladder cancer and stop symptoms.

What does it involve?

Most of the time, patients will first have a cystoscopy test, which checks the health of your bladder and helps your surgeon see your bladder clearly. Before the procedure, patients are placed under general or spinal anesthetic. The procedure usually takes between 15 mins – 1.5 hours, during which, your surgeon will pass an endoscope through the urethra into the bladder and remove the lesion(s). The tissue that is removed is then examined by a pathology consultant to make a diagnosis. This can take about a week after the surgery.

What is the recovery period?

The length of time it takes you to recover from the operation depends on a range of factors, including your age. Some patients are able to go home the same day as their procedure, where others may need to stay one or two nights in hospital. Your surgeon will be able to advise you on the likely recovery period for you. Our dedicated recovery team of specialist nurses will work with you closely after your operation to make sure you recover as quickly as possible.

What can you do to prepare?

Ahead of your operation, it helps if you can stay active and do gentle exercise. This will help you cope with the operation and build strength afterwards.
