The procedure for a cystoscopic biopsy involves several steps:
1. Preparation: The patient may be given a local anesthetic or sedative. 2. Insertion: The cystoscope is gently inserted through the urethra into the bladder. 3. Examination: The interior of the bladder is visually inspected using the camera attached to the cystoscope. 4. Biopsy: If abnormal tissues are found, small instruments passed through the cystoscope are used to take tissue samples. 5. Analysis: The tissue samples are sent to a histology lab for further examination.
