RESECTOSCOPE SET 18.5FR

Product Description

An 18.5Fr resectoscope set is a specialized medical instrument used primarily in urology for endoscopic surgical procedures. Its primary functions include diagnosing and treating conditions in the bladder, urethra, and prostate. Below are the common uses:

Primary Applications:

1. Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP):

   • To treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), where excess prostate tissue is resected to relieve urinary obstruction.

2. Bladder Tumor Resection:

   • To remove tumors from the bladder lining for diagnostic purposes or treatment.

3. Management of Urethral and Bladder Neck Strictures:

   • To excise or widen narrowed areas in the urinary tract to improve urine flow.

4. Coagulation of Bleeding Sites:

   • To control bleeding in the urinary tract using monopolar or bipolar energy.

5. Resection of Foreign Bodies or Lesions:

   • To remove polyps, calculi, or foreign bodies from the bladder or urethra.

6. Biopsy Collection:

   • To collect tissue samples for pathological examination.

Procedure Approach:

The device is inserted through the urethra, allowing the surgeon to perform minimally invasive procedures under direct vision. It avoids the need for open surgery, reducing recovery time and minimizing complications.
