The method for insertion of the cystoscope varies, but the test is the same. The scope is then inserted through the urethra into the bladder. Water is inserted through the cystoscope and fills the bladder. This process stretches the bladder, enabling the physician to view the entire bladder wall. If any tissue appears abnormal, a small specimen can be taken through the cystoscope to be analyzed. The average cystoscopy takes about 15 to 20 minutes.
