Article Title: Evaluation of new resectoscope loop for transurethral resection of bladder tumors
Abstract: Purpose: We evaluate a new resectoscope loop for transurethral resection of bladder tumors. Materials and Methods: Of 251 transurethral resections in 226 patients 111 were done with a conventional loop and 140 with the Olympus prototype model A2186 resectoscope loop. The quality of specimens provided for histological analysis was compared. Results: Tissue orientation was preserved and cautery artifact was reduced with the new loop compared to the standard resectoscope loop. Conclusions: Compared to a conventional resectoscope loop, the new loop resulted in a better tumor resection and helped facilitate histological evaluation of the tissue specimens.
