RESECTOSCOPES

A resectoscope is a type of endoscope used in surgeries of the uterus, prostate, bladder, or urethra. The device may be used to extract tissue for biopsy, remove growths, or ablate diseased or damaged tissue. The resectoscope includes a wide angle microscope to allow complete visualization of the surgical site and an attached wire loop can be activated to cauterize tissue, limiting bleeding and eliminating the need for stitches.
