ABSTRACT:
A device for coagulating, vaporizing, resecting, and removing prostate and bladder tissue. The resectoscope uses the standard diathermy electrical units available at hospitals. The resectoscope uses a rotating cutting/coagulation element to cut, coagulate and vaporize tissue at a much higher speed compared to the linear motion of currently available resectoscopes, allowing the operator to perform these procedures more efficiently, and also allowing the operator to retrieve most of the excised tissue for histological examinations.
