To evaluate the impact of an eight-item surgical checklist (SC) on recurrence-free survival (RFS) patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) undergoing transurethral resection tumour (TURBT).A group urologists at two tertiary referral centres, expertise in cancer, identified eight critical items that should be performed every high-quality TURBT. An SC was prospectively implemented into clinical practice and operative reports TURBTs before after implementation were reviewed. Results from both institutions combined to estimate introducing oncological outcomes. Multivariable logistic Cox hazards regression analyses presence detrusor muscle TURBT specimen RFS, respectively.The 266 reviewed compared those 281 prior introduction. The independently associated a significant improvement RFS (P = 0.02). However, introduction not significantly 0.4).The use during increases quality thereby potentially improving individualised risk-stratification care resulting lower disease recurrence rates. Therefore, can recommended enhance outcomes by standardisation reporting.
