Flexible V/S Rigid Cystoscopy In Men With Urinary Tract Infection

February 8, 2019 updated by: Dr. Gaurish Sawant, Maulana Azad Medical College

Randomized Controlled Study To Evaluate The Outcomes Between Rigid And Flexible Cystoscopy In Men With Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms Undergoing Diagnostic Cystoscopy

The objective of this study is to perform a randomized study, comparing the outcomes of the above two types of cystoscopy in terms of discomfort experienced by the patient, while undergoing the procedure.

Detailed Description

Cystoscopy is a commonly performed routine outpatient procedure and an essential diagnostic tool in urology.Compared with flexible endoscopes, rigid instruments offer better image quality, a wider lumen of the working channel, improved irrigant flow and superior handiness. However, flexible cystoscopes provide more options for patient positioning, enable smooth passage over an elevated bladder neck or median lobe, facilitate full inspection of the bladder because of their movable tip and, what is most important is it significantly improve patient comfort(patient can be positioned in any comfortable position).
