Cystoscopy Procedure: Detailed Overview, Purpose, and Process

This report provides a comprehensive overview of the cystoscopy procedure, a diagnostic method used to inspect the interior of the bladder and urethra. It explains the purpose of the procedure, which includes identifying and treating conditions such as bladder tumors and kidney stones. The report outlines the step-by-step process, from preparing the patient to the actual examination using a cystoscope. The report also highlights the role of the Department of Urology and the tasks of the unit clerk in coordinating the procedure and managing patient records. References to relevant medical literature are included, providing a complete understanding of the procedure and its clinical context.

Introduction
Cystoscopy is a technique that helps
the surgeon to inspect the interior of
the patient's bladder and the duct
that transports urine out and into
(urethra). A hollow, lens-equipped
tube (cystoscope) is placed onto the
urethra and gradually progressed in
to the bladder.

Purpose of test
Cystoscopy is being used to identify, track
and cure bladder-and urethra-affecting
conditions. It is used to treat cancers of the
bladder, including illnesses such as prostate
tumors, kidney stones, including inflammation
of the prostate (cystitis) (Rose et al., 2016).
Special devices for handling such diseases
should be transmitted by the cystoscope. For
example, through cystoscopy quite minor
tumors of the bladder can be eliminated.

Procedure of test
Unless you have an UTI, or a poor
immune system, your doctor can prescribe
antibiotics before and after the operation.
A urine sample might still need to be given
before the examination.

Procedure of test
The patient's urethra gets deadened with
only an anaesthetic spray or gel. The doctor
lubricates the scope with gel and sticks it
carefully into the individual's urethra
(Nakai et al., 2015). The doctor watches
through a lens while the camera reaches
into the patient's bladder. Also a germ free,
sterilized solution flows in to flood the
patient's bladder. This makes it possible for
the practitioner to see what is going on.

How long does the test take?
Under local anesthesia it will
require fewer than five minutes for
the cystoscopy. If you are
anesthetized or given general
anesthesia, it can take about 15 to 30
minutes to complete the procedure.

Which diagnostic imaging department is to
be contacted?
The department concerning the
renal functionality, Department of
Urology, of the human body in the
hospital is to be contacted by the
Hospital Unit Clerk for the booking
of the procedure.

What tasks would be required to assign?
Unit clerks are often identified as
coordinators of health departments,
or clerks of health departments.
Such people play important roles in
handling patient records and
supplying a health care manager
with clerical assistance.

What tasks would be required to assign?
Clerks in the health unit need to establish
technical expertise and information in
running the patient service to do the job
properly.
 Unit clerks am responsible for holding
private patient health records as reliable and
safe as possible. They handle papers such as
aspects of patient histories and records of
admission and discharge.
