A special instrument was used for the endoscopy of your bladder.

The bladder sits low down in the abdomen and collects the urine. The urine is produced in the two kidneys. The urine flows from the kidneys into the bladder via the ureters. When you pass water, the urine flows from the bladder via the urethra and out.

Endoscopy is used to examine the bladder from the inside. The special instrument can be a thin scope or a flexible tube, for example. The procedure involved inserting the instrument into your bladder.
