Objectives to enhance the morphological diagnostic complex in order to predict postoperative outcomes in a more accurate way and to optimize patients with non-muscular invasive bladder cancer treatment.Materials and methods. The study included 34 patients from 25 to 71 years old underwent laser en-block resection, the most of them were males – 28. In 9 cases multiple carcinomas (2 or more) were found. Huge tumors (2 cm or more in one dimension) were resected in 6 patients. Results. The major part of tumors removed (n = 22) histologically appeared to be papillary urothelial carcinomas with low grade of malignancy and PUNLMP; in 6 cases G2 was verified, one tumor with high malignancy potention – G3. In 3 patients intramuscular invasion was found (invasive carcinoma T2) excluding them from the study.Discussion. Laser en-block resection of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer appears to be the most optimal approach in operative treatment that provides representative histological material. For correct morphological estimate we recommend either to expand the resection zone to 1 cm which allows to remove circular resection margin or to take extra pinch biopsy from tumor crater (vertical margin). In 3 patients from our study positive circular margin was revealed histologically whereas foci of perineural and perivascular invasion were found in one case. A new subgrading of stage T1 depending on intramuscular invasion depth was suggested whereas the main criteria is the muscularis mucosae involvement.Conclusion. Morphological estimate of circular resection margin provides an ability to predict postoperative outcomes and correct the treatment in one or another way. Subgrading for T1-stage tumors is recommended for following correct postoperative prognosis and possibility of tumor recurrence.

In surgical treatment of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (BC) the en bloc resection technique – removal of tumour in a single piece with the subjacent muscle (detrusor) – is becoming more widely used. The objective of this review was to assess the oncological efficacy (relapse incidence) and safety (of peri- and post-operative complications) of this technique for various tumour sizes. This systematic review was written in accordance with the PRISMA criteria. The relevant literature published over the past 20 years was chosen in two databases (Medline and Scopus) with the use of the search query “en bloc” and “bladder cancer”. We selected publications that assessed the efficacy and safety of en bloc resection of the bladder wall with non-muscle-invasive tumour, and also publications comparing the efficacy of en bloc резекции resection with that of transurethral resection (TUR) of the bladder. Based on analysis of 18 studies (1592 patients after en bloc resection), the following conclusions were made: the incidence of BC relapses after en bloc resection of the bladder wall (with non-muscle-invasive tumour) is significantly lower than after conventional TUR of the bladder; a practically 100-percent presence of muscle fibers is found in the histological tumour specimen; the frequency of peri- and post-operative complications in en bloc resection is significantly lower as compared with classical TUR; the choice of a power source does not influence the oncological outcomes, but laser en bloc resection is safer than electrical; extraction of tumours with sizes up to 2-3 cm is possible in one piece; tumours of larger diameters should be preliminary fragmented in the bladder cavity; comparison of tumours of various diameters did not reveal any statistical differences between the oncological outcomes of patients. The technique of en bloc resection of the bladder wall with non-muscle-invasive tumour is effective and safe for removal of smaller tumours (~ to 2 cm); as some authors point out, it is also effective in larger tumours but there are no literature evidence sufficient for such an. Key words: systematic review, en bloc resection, non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer

Abstract: In recent decades bladder cancer has become one of the most topical problems of modern healthcare due to its widespread distribution. This makes it necessary to investigate new effective methods of surgical treatment.Objective: Assessment of the effectiveness of en bloc resection of the bladder with tumor by analyzing scientific publications on this matter.Materials and methods: We have analyzed current articles related to this topic on the databases Pubmed and Google Scholar. The search was performed using the keywords «Bladder Tumor», «En bloc resection of the bladder wall», «non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer».Results: Most studies confirm the advantages of laser en bloc resection over other methods in terms of such parameters as the frequency of recurrence, macrohematuria, and the quality of morphological material.Conclusions: Laser en bloc resection of a bladder tumor without invasion of the muscle layer is a safe and effective operation that has a number of advantages over classical transurethral resection, namely: no obturator syndrome, high-quality material for pathomorphological research, low recurrence rate.
