En bloc resection of bladder tumors (ERBT) has been used as a treatment option to improve pathologic diagnostic accuracy in non-muscle invasive bladder cancer.

We used the electrosurgical snare to resect a superficial bladder tumor after injection of 50% glucose in the submucosa at the tumor base.
