How Blue Light/Fluorescence Guided TURBT is performed
This procedure may use photosensitizers and blue light imaging systems to enhance lesion visualization. A cystoscope is inserted transurethrally to assess the lesion, typically under white light and blue light modes. An electrocautery loop is used to resect the tumor and its base, with multiple biopsies performed and marked as necessary. Specimens are sent for pathology. A catheter is placed postoperatively for irrigation, monitoring for bleeding, perforation, and urination. The goal is to determine pathological staging and remove visible tumors, providing a basis for subsequent instillation or follow-up. The above is general health information and not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
