Introduction
Bladder cancer surgery is a core treatment option for managing both early-stage and advanced bladder tumors.
The surgical approach depends on the stage, grade, and extent of the disease, ranging from endoscopic tumor removal to more complex reconstructive procedures.
Early and accurately planned surgery plays a critical role in cancer control, symptom relief, and long-term outcomes.
Modern bladder cancer surgery aims to achieve complete tumor removal while preserving quality of life whenever possible.
