Postoperative Quality of Recovery After Transurethral Resection of the Bladder

Summary

Transurethral resection of the bladder (TURB) is often performed as an outpatient procedure so high-quality postoperative recovery is particularly important. The aim of this study is to compare postoperative quality of recovery after spinal anesthesia (SA) and general anesthesia (GA) for transurethral resection of the bladder.
