A qualitative research study interviewing patients treated in hospitals across England. We will interview patients who have recently undergone one of the following operations as a day-case; transurethral bladder tumour resection (TURBT), transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) or transurethral enucleation of the prostate (TUEP). We are interested to find out about the experience for patients who go home on the day of surgery after they have had one of these operations. We hope that the findings will tell us about how to improve the experience for patients in future. Patients undergoing day-case surgery at a range of different hospitals from across England with varying day-case rates will be interviewed. Hospitals in large city and more rural areas will be included. Interviews are anticipated to take place over a six month period. The study will end when "saturation" is achieved, whereby no new themes are identified through interviews. Saturation will be sought for each individual operation of interest.
