Objective To discuss the feasibility of serous membrane sparing transurethral partial cystectomy for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) under general anesthesia of laryngeal mask airway and muscle relaxants. Methods 73 patients diagnosed with NMIBC in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University between January 2008 and December 2013 underwent serous membrane sparing transurethral partial cystectomy, the procedure were performed under general anesthesia of laryngeal mask airway and muscle relaxants to prevent obturator nerve reflex. The perioperative and follow-up data were recorded and analyzed. Results All patients underwent operations successfully and the operative time was between 46-68 min and the average time of the operation was (56±13) min. Reflection of obturator nerve occurred in 1 case (1.4%) during operation. All patients completed 12 months of follow-up, and the overall survival was 100%. No tumor recurrence and progression occurred. Conclusion Our study revealed that the current method is safe and effective for the endoscopic treatment of NMIBC.
