Prediction of the risk of surgical complications in patients undergoing monopolar transurethral resection of bladder tumour - a prospective multicentre observational study.

ABSTRACT:

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. The primary study endpoint was any intra- or postoperative surgical complication. For the identification of predictors of complications, univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used. Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03029663). Registered 24 January 2017.

Results

Surgical complications were noticed in 228 (23.2%) patients, inc
