The cystoscopic manipulation was done in 52 cases of ureteral stones who visited the Department of Urology, Soon-Chun-Hyang College Hospital during the period of 18 months from May. 1979 to August. 1980 using Dormia stone disloger and the following results were obtained. 1. With the Dormia stone dislodger, 27 cases of ureteral stone were removed successfully. 2. The ureteral stone passed in 8 cases within 72 hours after manipulation. 3. Of the 27 cases, 2 cases were middle ureteral stone and 25 cases were lower ureteral stone. 4. The largest stone measured 6.5 x 13 mm. 5. There were no major complication but minor complication occurred such as fever, pain and gross hematuria.

Recently, primary ureteral tumors are more frequently reported in urological field even though considered as rare. We have observed a case of primary ureteral tumor confirmed with the cystoscopy and retrograde pyeloureterogram. Choice of operation is nephro-ureterectomy with removal of a cuff of bladder wall around the ureteral orifice. It is necessary for a physician to make the early diagnosis and removal of the tumor as soon as possible.

The need for film recording in endoscopic practice is important with the present demand for documentation and teaching (legal problem). The electronic endoscopy which has a very small charge coupled device (CCD) at the distal end of an endoscope yields several times more resolving power than conventional optical endoscopes. However the system has not been utilized in Urologic field because there has not enough space for CCD at the end of the telescope comparing to the endoscope in Gastroenterology field. However the video converter with CCD could be adapted to the eyepiece of the telescope, and the automatic monitor photo unit (CVP 600, SAMSUNG, KOREA), video system and monitor were used for imaging, which is so called Urologic Video Information System (UV1S). The image processing was done by instantaneous system (CCD color camera, EC-202 II, ELMO, Japan) with conventional optical light source. From September 1992 to August 1996, we did cystoscopic examination with CCD in 1079 cases.

OBJECTIVE: To estimate the effect of diagnostic cystoscopy in early detection of ureteral injury at the time of total laparoscopic hysterectomy. METHODS: Retrospectively 598 women who received total laparoscopic hysterectomy from August 2004 to August 2006 were included. They were divided into two groups : no cystoscopic examination (n=398) group (Group A) and routine intraoperative diagnostic cystoscopic examination after intravenous indigo-carmine injection (n=200) group (Group B). The rates of ureteral injury after total laparoscopic hysterectomy were compared between both groups. RESULTS: Postoperative ureteral injury was observed in 3 case of Group A (3/398 : 0.75%) and in no case of Group B. In 2 cases of group B (2/200 : 1.00%), Intraoperative ureteral injury was detected by cystoscopy. CONCLUSION: Routine intraoperative diagnostic cystoscopy allows for early recognition and treatment of obstructive ureteral injuries, and reduces the rate of late postoperative ureteral complications during advanced laparoscopic procedures.

Forty eight patients with cervical cancer underwent cystoscopy, computed tomography and transrectal and transvaginal ultrasonography. Transrectal ultrasonography was as accurate as computed tomography in the evaluation of the bladder wall invasion in cervical cancer. Most patients with bullous edema in cystoscopy appeared to have invasive lesions in transrectal ultrasonography. Transrectal ultrasonography was superior to transvaginal one in the evaluation of the posterior well of the bladder. In conclusion. transrectal ultrasonography is an another good diagnostic method for the evaluation of the bladder wall invasion in cervical cancer.

Retrograde cystography and computed tomography (CT) are considered the gold standard for investigating bladder and pelvic bone injury. However, these methods can miss extraperitoneal bladder rupture caused by a penetrating bone fragment from a pelvic bone fracture. We experienced a routine conventional cystography and CT scan that failed to identify penetration of the bladder by a bone fragment, which thus delayed optimal treatment. Therefore, different diagnostic methods such as CT cystography or cystoscopy should be considered to rule out penetrating injury by a bony fragment in patients with extraperitoneal bladder rupture.

Brunn nests are the most common proliferative lesions of the bladder uroepithelium, but exuberant proliferation can mimic bladder tumor on radiologic imaging and cystoscopy. We describe a case of pathologically proven Brunn nests in a 34-year-old man, misdiagnosed as bladder tumor on preoperative imaging studies.

Despite current practice there is no evidence to demonstrate the efficacy of intraurethral 2% lidocaine gel as an anesthetic for rigid cystoscopy. To evaluate the usefulness of lidocaine on decreasing pain associated with cystoscopy, we performed a randomized controlled study comparing 2% lidocaine gel with a plain water based lubricant. Pain was recorded on a visual analogue scale by the patient and by the physician. Physician perception of pain experienced by the patient was compared with the actual pain experienced. We found decrease in pain perception in men following lidocaine gel instillation with a 5 or 10 minute dwell time compared to instillation of the plain lubricant.
