Abstract
Conclusions The newly developed transurethral resection system was effective in a saline irrigated environment, which inhibited the obturator nerve reflex when applied in an animal model. This finding suggests promising potential for the system as a safe and cost-effective alternative compared with conventional transurethral resection.Keywords
