Cystoscopy
What is a cystoscopy?
During cystoscopy, our specialists examine the bladder using a special endoscopic instrument - the Cystoscope. This is carefully inserted via the urethra so that the bladder and urethra are visible from the inside.
This investigation enables a detailed assessment of the mucous membrane and structure of the bladder and urethra. This allows changes to be detected early and treated in a targeted manner.
Indications

Tumors of the urinary bladder
Cystoscopy is the most important procedure for the detection and aftercare of bladder tumors. Suspicious changes become directly visible.
Stones & constrictions

Structural features of the bladder and urethra are detected during cystoscopy and can be treated in a targeted manner.
