ABSTRACT:
The present invention comprises a prostate dilation balloon disposed on a urethral catheter, a fixation balloon also disposed on said catheter, wherein said catheter is partially or completely transparent, and a fiber optic endoscope disposed within said catheter. The scope is arranged so that it can visualize the area outside the catheter in order to determine whether the dilation balloon and fixation balloon are properly located within their respective targets within the urethra and/or bladder. The scope is also capable of focusing on objects which may be present in and along the urethra.
