What is the Procedure?

 

Cystoscopy is a medical procedure that allows doctors to examine the lining of the bladder and the urethra, the tube that carries urine out of the body. The procedure involves inserting a long, thin tube with a small camera (called a cystoscope) through the urethra into the bladder.

  • The type of cystoscope used depends on the reason for the procedure. It can be used to diagnose the cause of certain symptoms or to treat some bladder conditions. The procedure is performed in an examination room using local anesthesia to numb the urethra, or it may be done in a hospital under general anesthesia.
