Abstract
Cystourethroscopy can be performed for diagnostic and a few operative indications by obstetrician-gynecologists to help improve patient care. Perhaps the most important indications for cystourethroscopy are to rule out cystotomy and intravesical or intraurethral suture or mesh placement and to verify bilateral ureteral patency during or after certain gynecologic surgical procedures. The granting of privileges for cystourethroscopy and other urogynecologic procedures should be based on training, experience, and demonstrated competence. Postgraduate education, including residency training programs in obstetrics and gynecology and continuing medical education, should include education in the instrumentation, technique, and evaluation of findings of cystourethroscopy, and in the pathophysiology of diseases of the lower urinary tract.
