Cystoscopy update

Well, hubby had his cystoscopy today.  Immediately swathe problem- he's been having to try to urinate through a hole about the size of the head of a pin.  Doctor couldn't even try the stretching he'd mentioned- couldn't get the scope all the way up!  So hubby will have surgery on Tuesday morning.  Doc said about 70% of his patients are fine after one surgery, about 20% need 2 procedures and 10% need 3.  Hubby will be back on a catheter for 2 days- get it out Thursday.  Then we head to Vegas for another concert on Friday.   Hubby decided NOT to tell him about his dissatisfaction today- not with surgery scheduled for Tuesday. 

Glad the doctor didn't force the dilation process, and knew it would be better to have it done with surgery. Sometimes they will use a tiny wire, and if they can't even get a wire through, then they know that normal dilation will not work, been there done that. Wonder what the odds are for someone having it done 6x like I did prior to my Urostomy surgery and still have it close right back up?

Hoping this will take care of it for your husband on the first surgical pass.
