tsüstoskoopia

Tsüstoskoopia, also known as cystoscopy, is a medical procedure used to examine the interior of the bladder and urethra. It involves the insertion of a thin, tube-like instrument called a cystoscope through the urethra to visualize the lining of the bladder and capture images or perform interventions if necessary. The procedure is commonly used to diagnose, monitor, and treat conditions affecting the lower urinary tract.

There are two main types of cystoscopy: rigid and flexible. Flexible cystoscopes are more commonly used due to their minimally invasive nature and greater comfort for the patient. The procedure typically lasts from 10 to 30 minutes and may be performed under local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia, depending on the patient’s condition and the complexity of the examination.

Tsüstoskoopia is used to investigate symptoms such as blood in the urine (hematuria), frequent urination, urinary retention, or pain. It also allows for the removal of bladder tumors, stones, and biopsies of suspicious tissue. Additionally, it can facilitate the placement of urinary catheters or other devices.

Potential risks include urinary tract infections, bleeding, or injury to the urethra or bladder. Patients are usually advised to hydrate well and may be prescribed antibiotics to mitigate infection risk. Recovery is generally quick, with most individuals returning to normal activities within a day.

Overall, tsüstoskoopia is a valuable diagnostic and therapeutic tool in urology, providing direct visualization of the bladder and urethra with minimal discomfort and risk.
