Quality problem of TURB – Lack of standardisation
FIG. 13: Looking at multiple TURBT series on re-resection (Figure), between about 40% and 60% of specimens did have muscle present. This means that the remaining specimens did not, so performing an adequate TURBT on the first pass is of high necessity.
