I am looking for guidance for the following:The cystoresectoscope sheath over a visualizing obturator was introduced into the bladder. The bladder was drained and the obturator was exchanged for the working element. Pancystoscopy identified FIVE papillary bladder tumor in the anterior, posterior and lateral walls, the largest measuring 3cm. A large flat tumor is also noted measuring 6cm involving the Right ureteral orifice, the right hemitrigone, the bladder neck and the right prostate lobe. The lesions were resected entirely to the level of muscle and this was sent for pathology. The resection beds were cauterized to achieve maximal hemostasis. Then, the bladder was drained, an 24Fr , 3 ways Foley catheter was placed in the bladder and its balloon filled with 15 cc of normal saline. The catheter irrigated easily to light pink. _ The patient was then brought out of anesthesia without complications and taken to the PACU in stable condition.

Thank you for any guidance you are able to provide.
