Urologic procedures

Cystoscopy is endoscopy of the urinary bladder via the urethra. It is carried out with a cystoscope.

Lithotripsy is a procedure involving the physical destruction of hardened masses like kidney stones, bezoars, gallstones or sialolithiasis, which may be done non-invasively. The term is derived from Greek words meaning "breaking (or pulverizing) stones" (litho- + τρίψω [tripso]).

A ureteroscopy is a medical examination of the upper urinary tract, usually performed with a ureteroscope that is passed through the urethra and the bladder, and then directly into the ureter. The procedure is useful in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders such as kidney stones and urothelial carcinoma of the upper urinary tract. Smaller stones in the bladder or lower ureter can be removed in one piece, while bigger ones are usually broken before removal during a ureteroscopy.
