A doctor passes a thin lighted scope through the urethra into the bladder and uses it to burn away or cut out a growth on the bladder wall, without any external incision. This version is used for a midsized growth, larger than could be treated with the smallest version of this procedure, but not large enough to need the most extensive version.
