Cystoscopy is looking inside urinary bladder. Special microscope/camera and light used to look inside urinary bladder for causes of bleeding. This is mandatory for anyone who are suspected to have bladder cancer or unknown cause of bleeding. It is usually done under local anathesia but sometime anathesia or sedation may be needed for few patients especially in male. Flexible cystoscopy can be performed in all patient under local anathesia as day care procedure. Bladder cancer can be detected in all cases by cystoscopy if present. In small tumor, CT scan or ultrasound may be misleading, so cystoscopy is most confirming test to detect bladder tumor.
