Types of Cystoscopy
Are you a medical or nursing student about to enter the operating room for the first time? Or maybe an experienced practitioner looking for a quick refresher? We’ve got you covered! Familiarize yourself with the key instrumentation of a rigid cystoscopy and learn how to assemble a rigid cystoscope in our latest simulation.
A cystoscopy is a procedure to look inside the bladder using a thin camera called a cystoscope.1 There are two types of cystoscope, rigid and flexible. A rigid cystoscope is preferred when small surgical instruments are needed to remove a tissue sample or carry out a treatment in the bladder. A flexible cystoscope is preferred when having a quick look in the bladder to make a diagnosis. When using a rigid cystoscope, the patient usually has to go under general anesthesia or spinal (epidural) anesthesia.2
Touch Surgery’s™ Rigid Cystoscopy Instruments simulation guides you through the typical set of instruments used in a rigid cystoscopy, and how to identify and assemble a rigid cystoscope. This simulation is suitable for all members of the operating room team.
