Key Points

To evaluate the effect of audit and feedback on the quality of transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TURBT).
Conducted audit and feedback program within a surgical service
Analyzed surgical quality indicators pre- and post-implementation
Examined oncological outcomes related to bladder cancer recurrence
Sustained improvements in TURBT quality indicators after the program
No significant reduction in recurrence rates of bladder cancer
Indicates that factors affecting oncological outcomes are complex

Abstract

Participation in a service-wide audit and feedback programme resulted in sustained improvements in TURBT surgical quality indicators after programme completion. This did not yield a detectable reduction in recurrence, highlighting the multifactorial nature of oncological outcomes in non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Further studies are required to identify which quality metrics most strongly influence long-term prognosis.
