Your provider will give you instructions on how to prepare for bladder tumor resection. Following their directions closely can reduce your risk of complications. Before TURBT, your provider may ask you to:
Not eat anything for eight hours before the procedure.
Stop taking medications before the procedure or take them with just a sip of water. Do not stop taking medications unless your provider tells you to.
Arrange for someone to drive you home after the procedure.
Take a bath or shower before you go in for the procedure. Do not use any kind of lotions, perfumes or deodorants that day.
