経尿道的前立腺切除術(TURP)に於ける内視鏡写真

Abstract

Difficulty in endoscopic photography in TUR is due t o the fact that clear vision can not be obtained without sufficient irrigation of the field which is secured only through wide lumen between the resectoscope sheath and resecting telescope of small caliber which in turn is able to carry only a small light. This difficulty has b een solved by device of a special light and a synchronizer which enables momentary increase of the light by the authors in cooperation with the Shinko Medical Optical Instrument Co.. The resectoscop i c camera is presented and several endoscopic features taken with the camera before, during and after TURP are shown.
