A randomized, controlled trial for transurethral treatment of bladder tumors using PlasmaButton vaporization electrode or monopolar loop electrocautery

摘要

Introduction: The use of an electrocautery device (monopolar loop) for patients undergoing transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TURBT) is standard of care. The aim of this study is to establish non-inferiority of complication rates for a bipolar energy device, the PK PlasmaButton (PK Button), when compared to the monopolar loop.
