Cystoscopy and UreteroscopyRead the Cystoscopy and Ureteroscopy article » What is a cystoscopy?A cystoscopy is an examination of the inside of the bladder and urethra, the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body. In men, the urethra is the tube that runs through the penis.
