A cystoscopy is a minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedure used to examine the inside of the bladder and urethra. At Bhatia Hospital, recognized as the best urology hospital in Mumbai, we offer advanced cystoscopy services performed by expert urologists. With state-of-the-art technology and a patient-centric approach, we ensure precise diagnosis and effective treatment for a variety of urological conditions.
Cystoscopy involves the use of a cystoscope—a thin, flexible tube with a camera and light at its tip—that is inserted into the urethra to visualize the bladder and urinary tract. This procedure helps in diagnosing, monitoring, and treating issues related to the bladder, urethra, and prostate.It can be performed as:
- Flexible Cystoscopy: For diagnostic purposes, typically done under local anesthesia.
- Rigid Cystoscopy: For therapeutic interventions, usually performed under general or spinal anesthesia.
