About this study

Official title: Randomized Controlled Study To Evaluate The Outcomes Between Rigid And Flexible Cystoscopy In Men With Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms Undergoing Diagnostic Cystoscopy

The objective of this study is to perform a randomized study, comparing the outcomes of the above two types of cystoscopy in terms of discomfort experienced by the patient, while undergoing the procedure.

Read the detailed description

Cystoscopy is a commonly performed routine outpatient procedure and an essential diagnostic tool in urology.Compared with flexible endoscopes, rigid instruments offer better image quality, a wider lumen of the working channel, improved irrigant flow and superior handiness. However, flexible cystoscopes provide more options for patient positioning, enable smooth passage over an elevated bladder neck or median lobe, facilitate full inspection of the bladder because of their movable tip and, what is most important is it significantly improve patient comfort(patient can be positioned in any comfortable position).

Being tested
Diagnostic Flexible Cystosocpy, Diagnostic Rigid Cystoscopy
Keywords

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Post Procedure Discomfort

    Discomfort experienced immediately post procedure by the patient defined as a Visual Analogue Scale score of more than 3 (range is from 1 to 10)

    Measured: periprocedure

  2. Duration of Procedure

    time taken to complete the entire test in minutes starting from insertion of the cystoscope through the urethral meatus, visualising the entire bladder and urethra , till the removal of the scope after making the observations.

    Measured: periprocedure
