OBJECTIVE Bladder hemangioma is a benign rare lesion. There are no pathognomonic clinical signs and management is controversial due to the bleeding risk. We report a bladder cavernous hemangioma resolved using bipolar transurethral resection. METHODS We review the case of a female patient who presented with asymptomatic hematuria. On cystoscopy we discovered a reddish sessile lesion compat...

For patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer, cystoscopy and transurethral resection/vaporization of the bladder tumor plays an integral role in the treatment of a given patient's bladder cancer. Although considered the current gold standard for tumor detection, traditional or white light cystoscopy has been shown to have its limitations visualizing both small papillary tumors and/or ca...

INTRODUCTION Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumors (TURBT) can be a challenging procedure, primarily due to limitations in tool-tip dexterity, visualization and lack of tissue depth information. A transurethral robotic system was developed to revolutionize TURBT by addressing some of these limitations. The results of three pilot in-vivo porcine studies using the novel robotic system are pre...

OBJECTIVE Perioperative inadvertent hypothermia (PIH) (core body temperature to < 36 °C) is a common event during surgery. PIH may result from multiple factors. Elderly urology patients are at greater risk than other patients for hypothermia. PIH may cause adverse postoperative cardiac clinical manifestations. Our study aimed to determine the effects of postoperative alteration of core body tem...
