Incisional and intraoperative diagnostic endoscopy: Incisional and intraoperative diagnostic endoscopy of urinary passages: Cystoscopy

You have had a cystoscopy (examination of the bladder).

The bladder sits low down in the abdomen and collects the urine. The urine is produced in the two kidneys. The urine flows from the kidneys into the bladder via the ureters. When you pass water, the urine flows from the bladder via the urethra and out.

Endoscopy is used to examine the bladder from the inside. The examination usually involves a thin tube or scope being passed into the urethra, then advancing it to the bladder. There is a camera at the top of the tube or scope. This camera is used to transmit images from inside the body to the outside during the examination. In this way, the inside of the bladder can be viewed and assessed for any changes.

Additional indicator

If necessary, additional letters are appended to OPS codes to indicate which side of the body is affected.

  • L: Left

  • B: Both sides

Note
