| Cystoscopy |
| |
Cystoscopy, or cystourethroscopy, is a procedure usually performed by a urologist that allows the physician to see the inside of the lower urinary tract (urethra, prostate, bladder neck, and bladder). Cystoscopy can be used to detect abnormalities of the lower urinary tract or to assist in transurethral surgery (e.g., prostate surgery).
In this procedure, a cystoscope (thin, telescope-like tube with a light and tiny camera attached) is inserted into the bladder through the urethra (tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body).
Before undergoing the cystoscopy, patients should inform their physician if they are taking any medications, especially blood thinners (e.g., aspirin, ibuprofen, warfarin [Coumadin®]). |
