About Cystoscopy with Bladder Biopsy

Cystoscopy with bladder biopsy is a diagnostic and therapeutic procedure performed by a urologist to examine the inside of the bladder and urethra and to obtain tissue samples. Using a thin, flexible or rigid tube called a cystoscope, which has a light and camera, the urologist visually inspects the bladder lining for abnormalities such as tumors, inflammation, or ulcers. If any suspicious areas are identified, small tissue samples (biopsies) are taken using specialized instruments passed through the cystoscope. This procedure is crucial for diagnosing conditions like bladder cancer, interstitial cystitis, or chronic infections. It is typically performed under local, spinal, or general anesthesia on an outpatient basis, providing vital information to guide further treatment.

PATIENT REVIEW

My dad was admitted to MGM...

My dad was admitted to MGM with a bad fever and we were all worried. Dr. Ramya Shri was the one who really talked to us. She didn't just give medical updates; she explained things in a way we could understand, told us what to watch for at home, and actually listened to our concerns. It made a stressful time much easier to handle.
