Introduction
Day-case Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumour (TURBT) is currently only performed in 18% cases across the United Kingdom.
Aim: To determine 30-day readmission rate and morbidity after day-case TURBT in a district general hospital (DGH) and to report patient demographics, quality of TURBT and early recurrence rate as well as patient feedback after day-case TURBT.
Patients and Methods
A retrospective audit of day-case TURBTs over a three-year pre-COVID19 (2017-20) was performed. We only included patients who underwent a TURBT and excluded any cystoscopy and biopsy or fulguration. A day-case TURBT pathway is in place in this centre. Feedback was obtained using hospital patient feedback forms.
Results
We included 77 patients who underwent TURBT in the day-case theatre, of these 5 patients required in-patient stay after the surgery. Of the remaining 72 discharged on the same day, 8 were re-admitted (11%) for Clavien-Dindo I complications (Table1). The readmission/failed discharge group had a higher rate of older patients, with higher ASA scores and longer operative times, however resection quality and tumour characteristics were not different from the day-case TURBTs. All patients reported an overall positive experience (good or very good) (Table 2).
Conclusion
In the first of its kind audit reporting patient feedback after day-case TURBT, the data obtained can provide us and other centres adopting day-case TURBTs guidance to employ better patient selection to reduce readmission rates. Hence, day-case TURBT can be a feasible option in appropriately selected patients, with a suitable pathway in place.
