European Association of Urology

In this episode on "How to install intravesical therapy post-TURBT", Prof. Alexandra Masson-Lecomte (FR) and Prof. Fred Witjes (NL) discuss a case involving a 68-year-old male with a 2 cm bladder tumor at the dome, following a complete TURBT but with a small intraoperative perforation.

They explore key clinical decisions, starting with whether to administer a single postoperative instillation, the choice of drug, and timing considerations. The experts further address how to begin a course of instillations in intermediate-risk patients, including procedural details like nurse or doctor involvement and management of adverse events.

The episode concludes with the management of significant local side effects during BCG therapy and the steps taken when urinary tuberculosis is suspected, highlighting an individualized treatment approach.
