Q. Is a resectoscope adaptable?

Answer

Yes, it is adaptable by doctors, and surgeons. Important landmarks are marked and the resectoscope is inserted. Observations of clinical TUR-B (transurethral resection of the bladder) procedures revealed an unmet clinical need for optimal resectoscope handling. The surgeon re-grasps and rotates the hand piece around 180 degrees to access all areas of the bladder. When the resectoscope is twisted, the surgeon is forced into an awkward position that slows down and complicates the process. Additionally, there is a restricted field of view on the endoscopic screen. Surgeon motion makes it difficult to keep an eye on the monitor.
