Cystoscopy and Urethroscopy for General Practitioners.

Abstract

In 1904 Bransford LewisJ reported the use of his operative cystoscope (Fig. 58), adapted not only to use within the bladder but also in the ureters. The direct-vision air cystoscopes of Luys, § and of CathelinU were submitted in 1904 and 1905, and attracted considerable attention in France. * We cannot agree with Fenwick who decries the necessity for a direct-view instrument, saying that by proper manipulation it is possible to obtain a satisfactory view of the posterior wall through the right-angle view cystoscope.
