Abstract

Objective
To critically analyse the efficacy and safety of continuous saline bladder irrigation versus single installation of mitomycin-C (MMC) after transurethral resection of bladder tumour (TURBT) in patients with low to intermediate risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer.


Materials and Methods
The question in consideration best merits answer by critically reviewing and analyzing the literature and finally to provide the recommendation about the relevance of the conclusions from the literature. A search study identifies the relevant literature from the well-known academic databases in the context of the re-search question. The particular sets of the key words are used in different formats to search the literature. The literature has been thoroughly reviewed and analyzed for the strengths and limitations. Specific data was critically taken for analysis depending upon the type of literature articles with special reference to their usefulness, knowledge, attitudes, transferability, validity/reliability and strength of conclusions.


Results
A total of 6 papers meeting the inclusion criteria, which compared the results of the efficacy and safety between intravesical chemotherapy and continuous saline bladder irrigation (CSBI) were critically analyzed. Conclusion
CSBI cannot replace MMC in terms of its efficacy in the prevention of recurrence and progression but because of the better safety profile can be used as an alternative in patients with low to intermediate risk bladder cancers after TURBT.
