If you're having any issues in your bladder or urethra, acystoscopymight be necessary. A cystoscopy is an interventional procedure that provides a view of the interior of the bladder and/or urethra, the tube that carries urine from the bladder to outside the body. The test is used for di...
Fluorescence cystoscopy improves the detection of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer, particularly carcinoma in situ, and reduces recurrence. The technique is well tolerated with few side effects. Guidelines recommend fluorescence cystoscopy in multifocal tumors, tumors >3cm, early recurrence, High grade ...
photodynamic diagnosis of bladder cancer and to assess any side-effects of the diagnostic method.Photodynamic diagnosis was performed in 18 patients of which 14 were men and 4 women with a median age of 71 years (range 44-84), 7 were primary cases and 11 were recurrent cases with bladder ...
Bladder cancer has a high recurrence rate which requires frequent follow-up. Cystoscopy is currently the gold standard for follow-up which is invasive and undesirable procedure for patients. We aimed to investigate the feasibility of noninvasive studies for follow-up of non-muscle invasive bladder ...
Adverse effects of cystoscopy and its impact on patients' quality of life and sexual performance. BACKGROUND: Cystoscopy, the principal means of diagnosis and surveillance of bladder tumors, is invasive and associated with unpleasant side effects. OBJEC... K Stav,D Leibovici,E Goren,... - 《...
Salbutamol-induced fall in blood pressure is of therapeutic value in those spinal cord injury patients who develop, in addition to penile erection, autonomic dysreflexia precipitated by urethral instrumentation, or bladder distension with the irrigating fluid. Intravenous salbutamol is preferable to ...

It could not be detected from the submucosa or muscle of the bladder. Bladder wall biopsies were taken from 90 patients with suspicion of bladder cancer under fluorescence view. The fluorescence detection proved to be of high sensitivity (98%). No serious side effects which would preclude ...
A total of 311 patients with known or suspected bladder cancer underwent bladder instillation with 50 ml 8 mM HAL for 1 hour. The bladder was inspected using white light cystoscopy, followed by blue light (fluorescence) cystoscopy. Papillary lesions were mapped and resected for histological ...
