Abstract
Objective: To compare obturator jerk using
monopolar with bipolar diathermy for transurethral
resection of urinary bladder tumor.
Methodology: This is randomized control trial
was conducted at urology ward of CMC, Larkana
from January 1, to June 30, 2019. Total of 80
patients irrespective of age, both genders with
history of hematuria and clinically or ultrasound of
KUB showing mass in urinary bladder were
included. All patients were distributed in 2 groups
by lottery method. In Group 1, TUR-BT was done
using bipolar diathermy and in Group 2, monopolar diathermy was used.
Results: In bipolar diathermy out of 40 patients,
obturator jerk was noticed in 3 patients and 7
patients with monopolar, respectively.
Conclusion: Bipolar resection lead to decrease in
complications rate with shorter catheterization
time than monopolar study. (Rawal Med J
