INTRODUCTION: Transurethral resection (TUR) is the most common surgical technique for the diagnosis and initial treatment of @entity150 . In this study, we evaluated two surgical techniques in terms of @entity1494 due to obturator reflex in @entity1 that underwent TUR for non-muscle invasive @entity150 (NMIBC). MATERIAL AND METHODS: 93 @entity1 who underwent TUR for @entity150 were analyzed. Fifty @entity1 underwent monopolar resection and 43 @entity1 underwent plasmakinetic resection. Standard TUR were performed with conventional Storz monopolar resection using a U-shaped cutting loop, 120V cutting/80 V coagulation settings, 5% @entity2656 fluid was used for irrigation. For bipolar resection, an Olympus ESG-400 plasmakinetic loop bipolar device using a U-shaped cutting loop, 160V cutting/80V coagulation settings and normal saline for irrigation was used. RESULTS: In the monopolar resection group; obturator reflex was seen in 4 (8%) @entity1 . @entity1494 caused by the obturator reflex was seen in 4 (8%) @entity1 , but @entity548 and other major complications were not seen in this group. In the bipolar resection group; obturator reflex was seen in 15 (34%) @entity1 . @entity1494 caused by the obturator reflex was seen in 10 (23%) @entity1 . CONCLUSIONS: Bipolar transurethral resection of @entity150 was not superior to monopolar resection with respect to obturator reflex and @entity1494 . We conclude that we do not yet have enough experience concerning the long-term complications and major complications associated with bipolar resection of @entity150 .

@entity1494 secondary to obturator reflex is more common with plasmakinetic transurethral resection than monopolar transurethral resection of XXXX .
