Cystosure: A Novel Technique to Make Cystoscopy Safer, Simpler, and More Standardized

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the importance of routine assessment of lower urinary tract injury during pelvic surgery and the current challenges in performing cystoscopy. It highlights that urinary tract injury can be avoided by intraoperative evaluation of the lower urinary tract, but only 30% of indicated cases undergo cystoscopy. It introduces CystiShore, a novel device that enables safer and simpler cystoscopy. The device combines the common urinary catheter with a specially designed cystoscopic telescope, offering ease of use and clear visualization of the bladder. The video claims that CystiShore has the potential to replace the current technique of rigid female cystoscopy and improve patient outcomes. The device has been tested in over 50 patients with successful results. No specific credits were mentioned in the transcript.
