Cystoscopy and biopsy involves visually examining the bladder using a cystoscope and collecting tissue samples for examination. The procedure involves cleaning and anesthetizing the urethra before gently inserting a cystoscope and visualizing the bladder and ureters. Small tissue samples are then collected from any abnormal areas using biopsy forceps. Post-operatively, a catheter may be placed and antibiotics and analgesics prescribed to prevent infection and pain. Potential complications include bleeding, infection, and urine retention.
