The Integrated Cystoscope: an Alternative to Conventional and Fibreoptic Cystoscopy

Abstract
This report describes a new integrated rigid cytoscope which has been designed for diagnostic and therapeutic cystoscopy under local anaesthesia. The small external diameter (17.5 F) and large instrument channel permit maximum irrigant flow and operating potential whilst causing minimum discomfort to the patient. We believe this instrument to be a practical alternative to conventional cytoscopes, including the fibreoptic cystoscope.
