A clinical observation was made on the 236 patients who had undergone transureghral resection of bladder tumor(TUR) between Jan. 1990. and Feb. 1996. In the Department of Urology, Korea Cancer Center focussing on complications. The mean operating
time
was 59.0minutes(n=400). The most common immediate complication was bleeding (1.8%), and the remainder was nonurologic fever(o.8%). The delayed complication was urethral stricture(1.0%) requiring visual urethrotomy. The immediate postoperative
morbidity
was 2.5% and risk factors for immediate morbidity after TUR were operating time longer than 60 minutes and tumors invading the muscle or more deeply(P<0.05), by Chi-square test ) The delayed morbidity was 1.0% and the only risk factor for delayed
morbidity after TUR was the number of TUR more than 2(P<0.05, by Chi-square test).
Careful attention to surgical details and indications is needed to reduce the amount and significance of the postoperative morbidity.
