Introduction: Preoperative identification of high-grade bladder cancer presence can optimize patient management. The aim of this study was to assess the association between preoperative pyuria and the pathological features of bladder cancer.
Material And Methods: This retrospective analysis enrolled 943 patients undergoing transurethral resection of a bladder tumor.
Introduction: The aim of the study was to identify predictors of surgical complications of transurethral resection of bladder tumour (TURBT).
Material And Methods: We prospectively recruited 983 consecutive patients undergoing TURBT within 7 months in six academic institutions. All patients were followed up from the surgery up to 30 days postoperatively with at least one telephone contact at the end of the observation.

Methods: In this case series study, 12 patients (11 males and one female) with a mean age of 66.8 years were operated on from February 2016 to May 2017 due to bladder calculi, using the T-LESS approach with a single-port device (Tri-Port + , Olympus, Germany).
