Bladder Cancer
Conditions
Brief summary
This is a prospective, single-arm study to evaluate the feasibility and safety of performing transurethral en-bloc resection of bladder tumours using the Zenith robotic system.
Interventions
Patients underwent En-Bloc Resection of Bladder Tumours using Agilis Robotic System.
