Papillomas of the bladder look like seaweed. If left untreated, these superficial bladder tumors can develop into invasive cancer.
The transurethral resection of papillomas is usually a small operation performed under general or local anesthesia and usually takes less than an hour. The patient remains in the hospital for a day with a catheter.
Urologist surgeon Stelios Voulgaris offers this specialized surgery in Euromedica Blue Cross Hospital using the bipolar diathermy Olympus – the latest technology – for even greater safety and efficiency.
