Minimally Invasive Cystoscopic Suture Excision

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video titled "Minimally Invasive Stethoscopic Suture Excision," produced at Metro Health Medical Center, the authors demonstrate a simplified approach to removing a bladder stitch. The patient in the case had a history of endometriosis, pelvic organ prolapse, and stress incontinence, and had undergone laparoscopic surgeries. Months later, she experienced urinary urgency and frequency and an in-office evaluation revealed the presence of a suture. Using a laparoscopic fascial closure device, the suture was visualized and cut, and then delivered transurethrally. The instruments used included a stethoscope with grasper and scissors, and a laparoscopic fascial closure needle. No disclosures were made by the authors.
