The Procedure

What is PLASMA En Bloc Resection?

PLASMA en bloc resection of bladder tumor can be described as the removal of the bladder tumor in one piece.

It represents a safer alternative to traditional NMIBC resection, and should be considered for treating NMIBC. The procedure demonstrates benefits in a recent meta-analysis on the treatment of NMIBC.1 Following 2020 European Association of Urology (EAU) guidelines the principal objective of the procedure is to ensure adequacy of resection, that is complete resection with detrusor muscle in the specimen.2
