    Abstract:
    Solution of 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) and D-Light unit (Karl Storz GmbH & Co) were used for fluorescent control over radicality of transurethral resection (TUR) of the urinary bladder. TUR with the fluorescent control was performed in 85 patients. The new procedure allowed to remove tumors undetectable at standard TUR in 46(54.1%) patients. Sensitivity and specificity of the method was 98.7 and 76.3%, respectively. 5-ALA-induced fluorescence used to control radicality of bladder TUR reduced the number of recurrences within 12 postoperative months 2-fold.
