Additional Information for Resectoscope
A resectoscope is a medical instrument used in urology for minimally invasive procedures. It is specifically designed for transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), which is a surgical procedure to remove excess prostate tissue in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
The resectoscope consists of a long, thin tube called a sheath, which is inserted into the urethra. It has a light source and a camera attached to it, allowing the surgeon to visualize the prostate during the procedure. The sheath also contains channels for the insertion of various instruments, such as a cutting loop or a laser fiber, which are used to remove or ablate the excess prostate tissue.
The resectoscope is connected to a high-frequency electrical generator, which provides the necessary energy for cutting or coagulating the tissue. The surgeon can control the cutting or coagulation effect by adjusting the power settings on the generator.
In addition to TURP, resectoscopes can also be used for other urological procedures, such as transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TURBT) or transurethral resection of urethral strictures (TURS).
Resectoscopes are an essential tool in urology and are commonly found in medical and surgical instrument sets used in hospitals, clinics, and surgical centers. They are part of the supply class "Medical And Surgical Instruments, Equipment, And Supplies" in the supply group "Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies."
