Medical Conditions - Cystoscopy

A cystoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure to examine the bladder. A cystoscope (a thin camera) is inserted into the tube that carries the urine out (urethra)to reach the bladder for examination. Once the cystoscope is inside the bladder, the doctor performing the procedure can view the bladder to check for any problems. Cancers, infections, growths, obstructions, and other issues in the urinary tract can be identified in the procedure.
