If you are scheduled for a cystoscopy procedure and want to know what exactly happens during the process, then read on to know more. A local or general anesthetic is administered to the patient via his urethra. The bladder is filled for expanding purpose through a cystoscope with water which makes the bladder more visible and easy to examine for the urologist. After that, a stent is inserted in ureter for proper drainage of urine. Stents are manufactured in various shapes and sizes. It is a necessary device for restoring flow of urine into bladder and hence, is used in a cystoscopy.

Very minute and small stones developed in bladder that cause pain and obstruction in urinary passage get easily removed through a cystoscopy. Since it is a minimally invasive procedure, it does not involve drilling any big incisions in the skin and does not leave any scars on the skin, thus also being done in the least possible discomfortable manner. This procedure as mentioned before can identify cancerous growths. This facilitates initiation of therapy and medication at the earliest which is a major advantage of a cystoscopy procedure.
