A cystoscopy is a medical procedure where a urology healthcare professional uses a thin, tube-like telescope called a cystoscope to look directly into the bladder for a close examination of the lining. This procedure is used to help find the cause of symptoms and to treat or monitor conditions.

A Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumor (TURBT) is a procedure where a urologist removes tumors from the bladder wall. The procedure is performed using specialized instruments that are inserted through the urethra into the bladder. For the tumor removal (called resection) the urologist uses a scope that features a special cutting instrument designed for that purpose. Another instrument is used to cauterize removal sites for proper healing.
