A cystoscopy is a procedure that involves using a thin, flexible tube with a camera to examine the inside of the bladder and urethra. A pyelogram is a diagnostic test that involves injecting a contrast dye into the kidneys and taking X-ray images to visualize the kidneys, ureters, and bladder to look for any abnormalities or blockages.

What are the alternatives to using cystoscopy?
Alternative procedures to cystoscopy include ultrasound imaging, CT scan, MRI, and urine tests like urinalysis or urine culture. These tests can help evaluate the urinary system without the need for inserting a scope into the bladder.
What is the procedure for a cystoscopy?
A cystoscopy is a procedure where a thin tube with a camera is inserted into the urethra to examine the bladder. The patient is usually given a local anesthetic or sedative to minimize discomfort. The doctor then inspects the bladder lining for any abnormalities and may take tissue samples for further analysis. After the procedure, patients may experience some discomfort or minor bleeding while urinating, but this should subside within a few days.
What is cystoscope?
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.
What is the difference between ureteroscope vs cystoscope?
Ureteroscopy (URS): This treatment involves the use of a very small, fiber-optic instrument called a ureteroscope, which allows access to stones in the ureter or kidney. The ureteroscope allows your urologist to directly visualize the stone by progressing up the ureter via the bladder. No incisions are necessary and general anesthesia is used to keep the patient comfortable during the procedure.Once the stone is seen through the ureteroscope, a small, basket-like device can be used to grasp smaller stones and remove them. If a stone is too large to remove in one piece, it can be fragmented into smaller pieces. Most commonly this is accomplished with laser energy.Once the stone has been completely treated, the procedure is done. In many cases, the urologist may choose to place a stent within the ureter, to allow any post-operative swelling or reaction to subside.A cystoscopy is an examination of the inside of the bladder and urethra, the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body. In men, the urethra is the tube that runs through the penis. The doctor performing the examination uses a cystoscope-a long, thin instrument with an eyepiece on the external end and a tiny lens and a light on the end that is inserted into the bladder. The doctor inserts the cystoscope into the patient's urethra, and the small lens magnifies the inner lining of the urethra and bladder, allowing the doctor to see inside the hollow bladder. Many cystoscopes have extra channels within the sheath to insert other small instruments that can be used to treat or diagnose urinary problems.
