During TURBT (Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumor), a specialized set of urological instruments is used to access and remove bladder tumors via the urethra—without external incisions.
Instrument Names Used in TURBT Surgery:
Resectoscope
Working Element (active part of resectoscope)
Cutting Loop Electrode (monopolar or bipolar)
Light Cable and Camera Head
Irrigation Tubing Set
Saline or Glycine Irrigation Fluid
Ellik Evacuator or Toomey Syringe
Cautery Electrode / Coagulation Electrode
Bladder Distension Sheath
Biopsy Forceps (if tissue sampling is needed)
Electrosurgical Generator Unit (ESU)
e.g., Bipolar Saline Electrosurgical Unit – 400W
Suction Tubing and Collection Canister
Operating Table with Leg Supports (Lithotomy Position)
These instruments work together to perform the resection and removal of bladder tumors through the urethra, without open surgery.
