    Transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURB) is crucial for treating urinary bladder cancer and impacts patient prognosis.

  • 2

    En-bloc resection of bladder tumor (ERBT) improves specimen quality and pathological analysis compared to conventional TURB.

  • 3

    Different energy modalities used in ERBT include Monopolar, Bipolar, and Laser techniques, affecting resection outcomes.

  • 4

    In a study of 188 patients, detrusor muscle presence was found in 81% of specimens, indicating high-quality resections.

  • 5

    Statistical analyses revealed no significant difference in detrusor muscle presence among different energy sources used in ERBT.
