Summary

Flexible cystoscopy is routinely performed by urologists. Many patients have concerns to undergo this procedure and expect it to be unpleasant or even painful. Thus, reduction of pain and discomfort during cystoscopy is of great interest, but there is not sufficient evidence regarding the most appropriate conduct of cystoscopy. In this study the impact of lidocaine gel, patient counseling and monitoring regarding pain perception during flexible cystoscopy are investigated.
