Transurethral resection of bladder tumour (TURBT) is the first step in management of bladder cancers. A urology trainee in the UK must do at least 120 procedures during their training years before being a consultant. In our article, we are reporting a retrospective audit of the quality of TURBT across 2 major cancer centres in Lancashire. We assessed the adherence of surgical procedure to the national and international guidelines among different grades of urological surgeons who work in the 2 trusts.
