Endoscopic armamentarium

  • Chapter
Endoscopy

Abstract

Endoscopy has elevated the modern urologist from the status of a venereal disease doctor to that of a highly trained and skillful specialist (McCarthy 1951). It has put the urinary bladder and urethra on the outside of the body, as it were, for those who are experienced in the use of the endoscopic armamentarium. Intricate diagnostic and surgical procedures which would otherwise be impossible, are made available by means of endoscopy.
