Evaluation of the Role of Early Second Look TURBT in Management of High Risk Non Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer

The aim is to evaluate the intraoperative, postoperative and pathologic findings of early second look TURBT and the factors affecting these findings to assess the value of early second TURBT in the management of high risk NMIBC.

Exclusion Criteria:

• - Low risk non muscle invasive bladder cancer
• intermediate risk non muscle invasive bladder cancer
• muscle invasive bladder cancer
• metastatic bladder cancer (positive lymph nodes or distant metastasis )
• absent muscle layer in the initial TURBT biopsies
