A resectoscope is a specialized medical instrument used primarily in urology and gynecology for the surgical treatment of conditions such as prostate enlargement or uterine abnormalities. It features a long, thin tubular structure with a light and camera for visualization, as well as tools for cutting and removing tissue. The procedure, often performed under anesthesia, is minimally invasive and allows for real-time viewing of the surgical area. By using a resectoscope, surgeons can perform biopsies, remove excess tissue, and treat various other conditions without the need for large incisions.
