TULA® - Trans Urethral Laser Ablation of Recurring Bladder Tumors
The ability of simultaneous vaporization and coagulation offers a simple and safe method with minimal loss of blood. The laser procedure can be performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia or even without anesthesia and offers the advantage over the previous standard procedure of being able to avoid general anesthesia.
Non-muscle invasive bladder tumor normally has a high recurrence rate, leading to multiple treatments. Elderly patients with multiple conditions are not fit for conventional treatment under general anesthesia. TULA® DUAL offers a technology using flexible cystoscopy for the treatment of bladder tumor under local or even no anesthesia in outpatient settings.
