A Pilot Study of Vela Laser for En Bloc Resection of Papillary Bladder Cancer

The results of our study have shown that the Vela laser is an effective, feasible, and safe thulium laser for en bloc bladder tumor resection. It was associated with negligible complications and allows accurate pathologic evaluation. The Vela laser can serve as an alternative treatment method for nonmuscle-invasive bladder cancer or infiltrating tumor.
