| why the dearth of info on kidney endoscopy ?
Dear Members,
I am going to have an endoscopy of my kidney done. Recently I have had a cystoscopy of my bladder done ... and that was bad enough. The tube thingy pushed up my penis, 2 weeks ago, through my prostate and into my bladder .... went in reasonbly ok ... but it gave me a bad infection that to a degree has still not cleared up. I think the prescribed 5 day course, 2 tabs/day, of Ciprofloxacin
has not worked as well as it normally does.

Anyway ... the question ! I have searched the net for endoscopy of the kidney ... to no avail. Whereas answers/advice on endoscopy/cystoscopy of the prostate and bladder ... are 10 a penny ... now why is that ? My guess is that whereas the latter investigation is very common ... endoscopic investigation of the kidney is not ? Moreover, when I do find something it is to do with stones ... and not necessarily in the kidney ... stones in the easier to get to ureter betwixt bladder and kidney ... so why the lack of info on kidney endoscopy ?
thank you in anticipation
