%X <strong>Background:</strong> bladder tumors rank 2nd among urological tumors in sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in C<span style=\"white-space:nowrap;\">&amp;#244;</span>te d¡¯Ivoire. <strong>Objective:</strong> to report the results of transurethral resection of the bladder (TURB) for the treatment of non-muscle-infiltrating bladder tumors (NMIBT) in Bouak¨¦. <strong>Patients and methods:</strong> we conducted a cross-sectional, descriptive study of transurethral resection of the bladder (TURB) for the treatment of non-muscle-infiltrating bladder tumors (NMIBT) between January 2022 and April 2023. All patients and their families were informed in advance and had signed an informed consent form. All patients with a non-muscle-invasive bladder tumor confirmed by an initial TURB were included, and patients with a bladder tumor infiltrating the bladder muscle were excluded. Diagnosis was based on cystoscopy and anatomopathological examination of resection shavings. Parameters studied were: age, sex, risk factors, reason for consultation, clinical signs, cystoscopy findings, stage, grade, Evolution. <strong>Results:</strong> 17 patients with a mean age of 53.7 years (22-73 years) underwent trans-ureteral bladder resection to treat a non-muscle-infiltrating bladder tumor (NMIBT). Male gender predominated with 88.23% (n = 15), the majority of patients came from the ME region with 47.05% (n = 8), farmers were the most numerous (52.94%; n = 9). The most frequent reason for consultation was macroscopic hematuria with 64.1% (n = 11), risk factors were dominated by urinary bilharziasis with 70.58% (n = 12), physical examination was normal in 47.05% (n = 8). Hemoglobin (HB) levels were between 7.5 and 8.5 g/dl in 52.94% (n = 9). On cystoscopy, the tumor was budding in 76.45% (n = 13), the localization was trigonal in 52.9% (n = 9) and the base of implantation was sessile in 70.52% (n = 12). On ultrasound, the tumor was 3 cm or larger in 70.52% (n = 12). Therapeutically, 82.35% (n = 14) of patients received a blood transfusion. TURB was complete in the majority of cases 88.23% (n = 15). Squamous cell carcinoma was the most frequent histological type with 76.47% (n = 13). PTa and PT1 grade accounted for 23.52% (n = 4) and 76.47% (n = 13) respectively. High-grade PT1 accounted for 64.70% (n = 11). Follow-up to TURB was straightforward in 94.11% (n = 16). At three months post-TURB, seven patients presented a tumor recurrence, with 41.17% (n = 7) requiring a second TURB. At 6 months, follow-up noted 14 patients free of any clinical or endoscopic signs of bladder tumors.
