Urethroscopy

Urethroscopy is a diagnostic test, performed to investigate the interior of the urethra and bladder, with the help of a thin instrument called 'cystoscope'. This procedure involves passing a telescope into the urethra to allow visual inspection. It is also used to identify problems of the urinary tract, such as urethral obstruction originating from the prostate, urethral stricture, stones or tumors.
