1-462.3:
Biopsy without incision on urinary organs and male genital organs: Percutaneous cytoscopic biopsy of urinary organs and prostate: Urethra
Tissue samples have been taken from your urethra.
When you have to pass water, the urine flows from the bladder via the urethra and out.
A thin tube was inserted into your bladder through an incision in your lower abdomen. A camera is attached to the end of the tube. This camera then sends images to a screen during the examination. It can then be seen whether the tissue is healthy or changed. Small tools, for example forceps, can be used during the examination. The tools are pushed forwards through the tube. Tissue samples can be taken in this way. These tissue samples can then be examined more closely under the microscope.
Additional indicator
