Özet: Objective: Sampling of detrusor muscle tissue (DMT) in the pathological examination of the bladder tumor is very important in the planning of correct staging and treatment. In the present study, we aimed to determine the factors affecting the DMT sampling in the pathology specimen after TUR-BT. Material and Mmethodsː The medical records of 59 patients who underwent TUR-BT were retrospectively analyzed. Twenty-six patients who had no DMT in the pathology specimen were classified as group I and 33 patients with DMT were classified as group II. Differences between groups in terms of age, gender, tumor number, tumor size, and tumor localization were examined. Resultsː DMT was found in 56% of pathology specimens. There was no statistically significant difference in terms of gender distribution between the two groups (p=0.646). Tumor localizations were as follows; 11.5% is on the dome, 11.5% is on the opposite wall and 77% is on the side walls in group I; and In group 2, 6.1% were found on the dome, 27.2% on the opposite wall and 66.7% on the side walls. There was no statistically significant difference between group I and group II in terms of tumor localization (p>0.05). The mean number of tumors and mean tumor size was found to be statistically similar in both groups (p>0.05). Conclusionsː It was concluded that variables such as age, gender, tumor size, number of tumors, and localization of the tumor did not affect the presence of DMT in the pathological specimen of the patients.
