8424 A Cost-Effective Cystoscopy after a Laparoscopic Hysterectomy

Study Objective Demonstrate the performance of a cost-effective cystoscopy using already available instruments. Design Video. Setting Operating room. Patients or Participants Three women undergoing a laparoscopic hysterectomy. Interventions Demonstrated cystoscopy performed using the 5mm 30-degree laparoscope as a cystoscope. Three different techniques are demonstrated to accomplish bladder distention prior to cystoscopy. Measurements and Main Results The cystoscopy was successfully performed using available tools. Conclusion There are multiple ways to quickly perform a cost-effective cystoscopy after a laparoscopic procedure.
