Abstract in English
The standard treatment for superficial TCC of the bladder is the endoscopic
resection of all visible tumours. Transurethral resection (TUR) may fail to control superficial disease,
especially in patients with higher tumour stages (T1), in addition to the high recurrence rate.
To evaluate the role of a second transurethral resection (early re-resection) in reducing the high
recurrence rate of T1 bladder tumours .
