This trial tests a new robotic system to remove bladder tumors in one piece (en-bloc resection) for people with early-stage, non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. It may offer a more precise surgical option for eligible patients.
This trial tests a new disposable tool for removing excess prostate tissue in men with an enlarged prostate (BPH). It aims to see if the tool makes surgery faster and more efficient while reducing symptoms.
This trial tests if a procedure done in the clinic, without general anesthesia, can safely check the upper urinary tract after kidney-sparing surgery for urothelial cancer. It may reduce the need for hospital visits.
This study tests a newer way to remove bladder tumors (called ERBT) combined with BCG, a standard immunotherapy placed in the bladder, for people with bladder cancer that is not too advanced. The goal is to see if this combination helps reduce the chance of the cancer coming back.
This trial studies a redesigned surgical instrument used during bladder tumor removal, to see if it can improve how the removed tissue samples are collected. It may help future patients by supporting better study of bladder tissue during cancer care.
This trial is testing a decision-making tool to help women with bladder cancer choose whether to keep their uterus, ovaries, and other pelvic organs during bladder removal surgery. It may help maintain quality of life after surgery.
