Resectoscopes are surgical instruments used in procedures of uterus, prostate, bladder, or urethra. Resectoscopes are primarily used for tissue extraction and removal of masses or growths (fibroids) and damaged tissues. Â Resectoscopes comprise a camera (such as a wide angle microscope) and extraction instrument (wire loop) which enables surgeons to visualize surgical site and perform surgery through the same incision. Use of resectoscopes in urogenital procedures decrease healing time, reduces surgical trauma, and provides minimally invasive treatment options for the patient.Â

Increasing prevalence of urinary/urogenital diseases such as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), urinary incontinence, urinary tract infection and hematuria have created immense demand for resection procedures and consequently for sophisticated resectoscopes.
