Rigid cystoscopy can be performed under the same conditions, but is generally carried out under general anesthesia, particularly in male subjects, due to the pain caused by the probe. The sizes of the sheath of the rigid cystoscope are 17 French gauge (5.7 mm diameter), 19 Fr gauge (6.3 mm diameter), and 22 Fr gauge (7.3 mm diameter).
The French scale measures the outer diameter of the catheter, not the size of the internal drainage channel (inner diameter). For instance, a two-way catheter of 20 Fr and a three-way catheter of 20 Fr have the same outer diameter, but the three-way catheter has an additional channel for irrigation, reducing the size of its drainage channel.
If medical treatment does not reduce a patient's urinary symptoms, a TURP may be considered following a careful examination of the prostate or bladder through a cystoscope. If TURP is contraindicated, a urologist may consider a simple prostatectomy, in and out catheters, or a supra-pubic catheter to help a patient void urine effectively. [3]

Entry is made in an antegrade fashion into the common femoral artery near the mid-femoral head using a 5-French rigid catheter with an angulated tip. The catheter is advanced to the proximal portion of the SFA, proximal to the occlusion. The catheter tip is then advanced into the extraluminal, or subintimal, space.
The Gold Cystoscope Award founded in 1936, revised in 1977, and named after the cystoscope, is awarded annually by the American Urological Association. The first recipient was Donald G. Skinner. The first recipient was Donald G. Skinner.
The Mitrofanoff procedure, also known as the Mitrofanoff appendicovesicostomy, is a surgical procedure in which the appendix is used to create a conduit, or channel, between the skin surface and the urinary bladder. [2]
