The assessment of bladder cancer resectability with bimanual palpation: A prospective study in laparoscopy and open cystectomy patients

CONCLUSIONS: The identification of limited bladder mobility during preoperative EUA yielded prognostic information on surgical margin status. Our findings suggest that EUA has the potential to provide valuable insights in the assessment of bladder resectability. However, further research in a larger cohort of patients is warranted to validate and expand on these findings.PMID:38508941 | DOI:10.1016/j.urolonc.2024.02.006
