Is a second TUR necessary in patients with primary high‐grade Ta NMIBC, particularly in the context of initial cases?
This is the first study to specifically address primary HG Ta bladder cancer, and it suggests that a second TUR may be omitted in selected cases, particularly when the initial resection is complete and the detrusor muscle is adequately sampled. A risk-adapted approach may help reduce unnecessary procedures without compromising oncological safety.
