About this study

Cystoscopy is a commonly performed routine outpatient procedure and an essential diagnostic tool in urology.Compared with flexible endoscopes, rigid instruments offer better image quality, a wider lumen of the working channel, improved irrigant flow and superior handiness. However, flexible cystoscopes provide more options for patient positioning, enable smooth passage over an elevated bladder neck or median lobe, facilitate full inspection of the bladder because of their movable tip and, what is most important is it significantly improve patient comfort(patient can be positioned in any comfortable position).

Treatment and study plan

Diagnostic Flexible Cystosocpy

Diagnostic Test

Endoscopic Visualization of the Lower Urinary tract using either a flexible cystoscope for the purpose of aiding the establishment of a Urological Diagnosis.

Diagnostic Rigid Cystoscopy

Diagnostic Test

Endoscopic Visualization of the Lower Urinary tract using either a rigid cystoscope for the purpose of aiding the establishment of a Urological Diagnosis.

Primary outcomes

  1. Post Procedure Discomfort

    Time frame: periprocedure

    Discomfort experienced immediately post procedure by the patient defined as a Visual Analogue Scale score of more than 3 (range is from 1 to 10)

  2. Duration of Procedure

    Time frame: periprocedure

    time taken to complete the entire test in minutes starting from insertion of the cystoscope through the urethral meatus, visualising the entire bladder and urethra , till the removal of the scope after making the observations.
