GU Flashcards
30°telescope (cystoscope; also 70°)
Used fr visalization f the urethra, interior bladder, and the ureteral; orifices
Telescope bridge
bridge
Used to adapt the teelscope lens to fit into the cystoscope sheath and may allow insertion of one or two accessories. These would include guidewires, ureteral catheters, stents, and other flexible devices
Cystoscope sheath and obturator
used for visual examination of the urethra, bladder, and ureteral orifices. Used for retrogrape pyelograms, bladder biopsies, ureteral stine manipulation, stent placement, and other endoscopic urologic procedures
Obturator is used to ease initial insertion of the cystoscope into the bladder
Resectoscope sheath and obturator
The outer sheath is used wih the working element, telescope, and electrode to resect tissues and coagulate bleeders duirng a transurethral resection of the prostate or bladder tumor. The obturator is used to ease initial insertion of the resectoscope into the bladder
Catheter deflecting element
cath element, deflecting bridge, deflector, deflecting mechanism
device that allows the surgeon to aim the tip of the accessory at a specific area or anotomic structure. A deflecting element is commonly used during a cystoscopy for retrograde pyelograms to direct the catheter into the ureteral orifice.
Working element (Iglesias)
Iglesias
Used with a resectoscope, telescope, and electrode to resect tissue and coagulate bleeders during a TURP or TURBT
Stopcock
Van Buren urethral sound
male sounds, van buren souns, urethral dilators
provides gradual dilation of the male urethra. ofetn used before placement of the cystoscope or rescetoscope to ease insertion
Ellik evacuator
Used for removing prostatic tissue segments and/or blood clots from the bladder
Ureteroscope (available as flexible or rigid)
Used for visual examination of the urinary tract including the ureters and teh renal pelvis. Used to diagnose, fulguration of bleeders, removal of neoplasm, and retrieval of migrated stents
Used to when removing ureteral or renal calculi
Irrigation tubing;
cystoscopy = straight;
TURP = Y tubing
Water tubing, cysto tubing
used for instillation of irrigation fluids into the urinary bladder, causing distention. Used for visualizing the interior during endoscopic urologic procedures.
Loop electrode
loop
used for resection and coagulation of prostatic and bladder tissues during transurethral procedures. It vaporizes the tisue in its immediate area as it resects a piece of tissue. Bleeders may also be coagulated simultaneously or individually.
Ball loop electrode
Used for coagulation of a larger surface area of teh bladder
Stone basket (ureteral)
Used for entrapping and removing renal calculi via a ureteroscope or a cystoscope
Balloon dilator (ureteral)
used for dilation of ureteral strictures
Foley catheter
3-way Foley catheter
Robinson catheter
