Faqs
A urologist uses a high-energy laser to destroy prostate tissue. The urologist uses a cystoscope to pass a laser fiber through the urethra into the prostate. The laser destroys the enlarged tissue.
Ureteroscopies are performed under anesthesia in an operating room. A simple exploratory procedure takes about half an hour including preparation. During this procedure, the urologist can conduct a biopsy or remove stones from the bladder.
MRI and CT scan images can help identify abnormal structures in the urinary tract. It cannot be detected whether they are cancerous or not. A biopsy can clarify that.
During a cystoscopy, a urologist uses a scope to view the inside of the bladder and urethra. Doctors use cystoscopy to diagnose and treat urinary tract problems. These problems include bladder cancer, bladder control issues, enlarged prostates, and urinary tract infections.
Prostate removal is major surgery. IV pain medications help to relieve pain.
