Why is cystoscopy a benefit over other procedures to diagnose and treat bladder disease?
Other procedures to diagnose and treat bladder disease usually involve surgery. Compared to standard surgery, cystoscopy offers great benefits. Surgery of the bladder involves incisions in the skin, muscle and bladder wall. Leakage of the urine outside of the bladder (into the abdomen) can create serious problems. With cystoscopy, there are no incisions at all, which means, less risk, less pain and faster recovery.
