A flexible cystoscope.
An assessment of the prototype Olympus Flexible Cystoscope in routine urological practice is presented. The results show that the instrument compares favourably in all respects with standard rigid equipment and has the advantage that cystoscopy can be performed supine and under local anaesthesia with ease. Biopsies may be taken; small lesions fulgurised and ureteric catheterisation can be performed without general anaesthesia.
