A medical instrument that allows doctors to see inside the bladder while using electrical current for diagnosis or treatment.
From 'electro-' (electricity) + 'cysto-' (relating to the bladder, from Greek 'kystis') + '-scope' (instrument for viewing, from Greek 'skopein' meaning to look). Developed in early 1900s medical practice.
This combination tool let doctors do something amazing—literally see inside the bladder AND treat problems with electricity at the same time, making surgery safer and more precise than ever before!
