Peri-operative Aspirin Continuation Versus Discontinuation

Summary

This study evaluates the continuation (non-discontinuation) of Aspirin during TURBT. Half of participants will continue their usual low-dose Aspirin regimen during TURBT and throughout the perioperative period, while the other half will discontinue Aspirin use ten days prior to surgery (standard recommendation) and restart therapy two weeks post-discharge.
