	Cystoscopy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Diagnostic cystoscopy is usually carried out with local anaesthesia.
		There are two main types of cystoscopy - flexible and rigid - differing in the flexibility of the cystoscope.
		Rigid cystoscopy can be performed under the same conditions, but is generally carried out under general anaesthesia, particularly in male subjects, due to the discomfort caused by the probe.

		After a simple denudation, the natural closing pressure that evacuates the bulbo-penile urethra approximates the margins of the residual uroepithelim: the intervening clefts are intermittently opened by the voiding stream but the spongio-thrombotic/spongio-fibrotic process gradually contracts to stricture the lumen.
