Simultaneous surgery for NMIBC and BOO: evaluating surgical safety to oncological benefit

Background

Current evidence demonstrates that simultaneous surgical management of bladder cancer (BCa) and bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) is oncologically safe, despite well-known concerns. This systematic review and meta-analysis primarily evaluates oncological outcomes of concurrent transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) and BOO surgery compared to TURBT alone or staged treatments; perioperative safety is descriptively summarized.
