A rigid cystoscopy is a procedure where the inside of the urinary bladder is visualized using a telescope (cystoscope). The procedure is done in hospital under a general anaesthetic. It is considered a minor procedure and is completed as a day surgery procedure. Instruments can be inserted through the cystoscope to allow for such things as bladder biopsies and insertion of ureteric stents.
Dr Murray will see you prior to discharge to discuss the findings and make arrangements for any further tests or procedures and your follow up appointment.
1. Haematuria (blood in the urine)
2. Dysuria (stinging sensation when voiding)
3. Urinary tract infection
4. Stricture formation (urethral scarring causing reduction in urine flow)
5. Bladder perforation following biopsy
If you have any further questions or queries please write them down and discuss them with Dr Murray prior to undergoing your procedure.
