BASIC SET UP: CYSTOSCOPY

[@amyc4406]

You made that look easy. I never noticed color on those instruments...which makes it easier. Also, I struggled with the Ellik. I need to see another TURP and try it again. Thanks for sharing this!

[@SURGICALTECHGEEK]

Omgosh so that reminds me! A nurse actually showed me the best way to refill those ellicks!!! I'll show it soon!

I don’t know the names of the items in the video. I am new at this. I do appreciate it though. Wish you named everything as you went along

[@SURGICALTECHGEEK]

This is just a demo of a set-up. I'll go in detail in the next coming videos.

[@capiztirzo2724]

I worked in the operating room and I pity those old men undergo this kind of procedure. The doctors are so quick to insert this long metal tube to the poor man’s genitalia as if they have no pain. I can’t blame why some guys hesitated undergoing.

[@SURGICALTECHGEEK]

They are under anesthesia so they won't feel it. The doctors do mentioned that it would hurt to pee for a bit but nothing major.

[@blueband8114]

@@SURGICALTECHGEEK oh nothing major, having had it i have to disagree. Its so bad it makes you hesitant to pass at all. Peeing broken glass is what it feels like. Having watched this i am considering canceling my upcoming procedure. I had no idea they were that ridiculously wide.

[@SURGICALTECHGEEK]

@@blueband8114 you have the right to be afraid and nervous about the procedure but this is how it's done. Theyre just long.

[@TheManFromKansas]

@@SURGICALTECHGEEK This is news 2 me, i had this procedure done and it was done right in the doctors office, he had all the instruments and there was a monitor, i was told this procedure cannot be done under general anesthesia, unlike a colonoscopy this procedure is done while you are awake and all they gave me was numbing cream, which did nothing 4 pain

[@19530ashland]

Think this equipment was designed for female body not to be rammed up a penis through internal sphincters in male urine tract followed by being smashed through a restriction caused by enlarged prostate .Definitely one of the procedures to avoid at almost all cost.Don’t forget syringe to penis to make it hard and jell inserted inside followed by clamp on penis to let jell stay in .Totally agony

[@rsteph6010]

How does it compare pain-wise to a Foley catheter insertion?

[@SURGICALTECHGEEK]

Idk I've never had a Foley

[@kitsunefaye1661]

Foley is uncomfortable. The only time it was painful was when I was unable to pee for 32 hours (initially I was peeing just fine the first day after having my son, then I wasn’t able to after that; had a C section). It was painful peeing; filled up multiple bags, but the relief was worth it. This, I can’t imagine how painful this has to be.

[@davidellis279]

I’ve had this done several times before for bladder cancer investigations,after operation’s to remove some of the cancer a catheter inserted,it’s about the same as having this procedure done,it’s not pleasant but they use a local anaesthetic down the tube of the penis before they insert it,it stings for a second or to but after that it’s not that bad. Don’t be afraid to have this done it’s not as bad as you imagine and the staff are who perform this are great and understand your reluctance to have it done,having a catheter removed I found more was more painful than this procedure, the secret is to try and relax while they do it,not easy but try.

What is the machine tub used for ? I means the bath tub of these endoscpic instrument.

[@cathietonkin5577]

No freaking way am I having this done without sedation!!!! Remember, ‘first do no harm’!!!! This is barbaric…..

[@vtxdaryl]

What’s the spoon used for?

[@SURGICALTECHGEEK]

To scoop out the prostate crumbs in the bag after the resection.

[@amandalocke1784]

For any one who says this procedure isn't that bad, have it done yourself

[@buffseven]

the new flexible Cystoscopy are less painful then the old steel rods they use to use 10-15 years ago.

[@blueband8114]

I have had a rigid cystoscopy, i have no idea why they have to be so thick with modern technology. Its sadistic, were they are going is not as wide as that. Oh and try peeing after one, its fun feeling like your peeing glass shards.

[@MrCyberife]

I have,or the equivalent, three times now, and it is a bit more than uncomfortable. What I hate is all the people standing around observing and not part of the procedure.

Is that some drilling equipment? No way I would let you get close to me with that shit! BTW, call it for what it is - TORTURE, not "procedure". Wouldn't do it on an animal, let alone a human.
