Detailed description:
Cystoscopy Cystoscopy is examination of the lining of the bladder (In Greek, Cysto - means bladder and scopy - means to look), using a fine telescope (cystoscope) passed through the water pipe (urethra). Flexible Cystoscopy is carried out using a fine, flexible, fibre-optic telescope (as shown in the diagrams below), under local anaesthetic (gel instilled into urethra). It is almost like a catheter being passed.
Rigid cystoscopy is carried out under General anaesthesia. Cystoscopy is a minor procedure, causes minimal discomfort and is usually undertaken as a day case procedure.
Some times it is combined with other procedures like bladder biopsy, urethral dilatation (stretching the water pipe), or bladder distension.
