Cystoscopy with Biopsy or TURBT
Cystoscopy with Biopsy or TURBT Treatment
Treatment Range Hospital in Hyderabad offers advanced diagnostic and surgical care through Cystoscopy with Biopsy and TURBT (Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumor) procedures. These minimally invasive techniques are crucial in diagnosing and treating suspicious bladder growths or early-stage bladder cancer. Our experienced urologists use high-definition endoscopic equipment to examine the bladder and remove abnormal tissue with precision and safety.
Cystoscopy with Biopsy is often performed when a patient presents symptoms like blood in urine, frequent infections, or abnormal imaging findings. If a tumor is detected, TURBT allows for immediate removal of the bladder lesion and collection of tissue for histopathological examination. At Treatment Range Hospital, we follow a thorough and patient-centered approach to diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up care to ensure the best possible outcomes.
- Your 6 - Phase health Process
Your Complete Cystoscopy with Biopsy Journey
👨⚕️ Phase 1: Symptom Identification
- Blood in urine (Hematuria – visible or microscopic)
- Frequent urination or urgency
- Pain or burning while urinating
- Difficulty starting urination or weak stream
- Nighttime urination (nocturia)
🩺 Phase 2: OPD Consultation with Urologist
- Clinical examination & medical history
- Review of urinary symptoms and risk factors (e.g., smoking, chemical exposure)
- Preliminary tests (Urine cytology, Urinalysis)
- Referral for cystoscopy procedure
🔬 Phase 3: Diagnosis
- Cystoscopy – a thin scope is passed into the bladder via the urethra
- Direct visualization of bladder wall and tumor(s)
- Biopsy – tissue samples are taken for histopathology
- May be outpatient or done under local/general anesthesia depending on findings
⚙️ Phase 4: Treatment Planning
- TURBT – Endoscopic removal of tumor(s) using an electric loop
- Performed under spinal or general anesthesia
- No incision – access via urethra
- Tumor tissue sent for pathological staging and grading
- Bladder may be irrigated post-op to prevent clot retention
🏥 Phase 5: Post-Treatment / Hospital Care
- Hospital stay: 1–2 days (if needed)
- Catheter for bladder drainage for 1–3 days
- Painkillers and antibiotics as required
- Blood in urine or mild burning is common temporarily
- Bladder rest and hydration recommended
💪 Phase 6: Recovery & Follow-Up
- Pathology report guides next steps (surveillance, intravesical therapy, or further surgery)
- Regular follow-up cystoscopies every 3–6 months
- Re-TURBT may be advised in certain high-risk cases
- Patient education on symptoms recurrence, hydration & lifestyle changes

- Frequently Asked Questions
Helping you understand Our healthcare
- Cystoscopy is a procedure where a thin tube with a camera (cystoscope) is inserted through the urethra to examine the bladder.
- A biopsy involves taking a small tissue sample from suspicious areas to check for cancer or abnormal cells.
- When a patient has symptoms like blood in urine, frequent urination, or when imaging or tests suggest a bladder tumor.
- It’s also done if bladder cancer is suspected or needs staging.
A simple cystoscopy may take 15–30 minutes. TURBT can take 30–60 minutes or longer, depending on tumor size and number.
- Cystoscopy with biopsy is usually done as a day procedure.
- TURBT may require a hospital stay of 1–2 days with a urinary catheter.
- It depends on the biopsy results.
- If cancer is found, further treatment such as repeat TURBT, intravesical therapy (e.g., BCG), or additional monitoring may be required.
