How long is the typical treatment and recovery timeline?
For TURBT, hospital stay is 1–2 days with catheter removal at 24–48 hours, and most patients return to normal activities within 1–2 weeks. Radical cystectomy requires 7–14 days in hospital, with full recovery taking 6–8 weeks. Post-operative follow-up includes regular cystoscopy for non-muscle-invasive disease and imaging for invasive cases.
