Bladder diseases.
A cystoscope is basically a long thin hollow tube with a camera and light on the end. In carrying out a cystoscopy the cystoscope is inserted into the bladder via the urethra by a doctor or nurse specialist who then interprets the images relayed to a monitor. If needed instruments can be passed down the hollow centre to allow biopsies etc to be taken.
There are two types of cystoscopes used to carry out the procedure, a rigid type and a flexible type

Cystoscopy is used to look at the bladder, collect urine samples and examine the prostate gland. This instrument uses a lighted tip so the doctor can see and aid in diagnosing urinary tract and prostate disease. It also will take biopsies and can take small stones to be removed by the hollow channel inside the cystoscope.
Ureteral stenting (also known as double J stent) is the procedure to place a thin, flexible plastic tube that is temporarily in the ureter to help urine drain from the kidney into the bladder in the case of a blockage. Steps to use DJ Stent: The doctor will insert a cystoscope through the urethra and into the bladder, visualizing the opening to the ureter. A thin wire is then guided through the cystoscope, up the ureter, and into the kidney. The stent is inserted over the wire. A fluoroscope, a kind of x-ray machine, may be used to position the stent. The wire and cystoscope are then removed.
