Evaluation of Ureteral Jets on Cystoscopy

Evaluation of Ureteral Jets on Cystoscopy: A Randomized Controlled Trial

This study evaluates 4 different methods to aid surgeons to visualize ureteral jets on cystoscopy.

This study proposes to test and compare the surgeon's impression/confidence in identifying ureteral jets using 3 other methods in contrast to standard diagnostic cystoscopy: 1) cystoscopy with Dextrose 10% solution, 2) cystoscopy with phenazopyridine and 3) IV sodium fluorescein 4) standard cystoscopy with saline.

Inclusion Criteria:

• adult
• undergoing a cystoscopy or as part of their planned procedure

Exclusion Criteria:

• Chronic kidney disease
• known prior surgical removal of kidney or ureteral obstruction
• Current ureteral stent placed
• Allergy to any of the interventions
