Abstract
Cystoscopy has a limited role in the evaluation of benign prostatic hy perplasia (BPH). The examination is recommended in the evaluation of B PH patients with hematuria or a history of risk factors for urethral s tricture. Available data suggest that bladder trabeculation in BPH is a predictor of the treatment outcome. Cytoscopy might be performed pri or to invasive therapy to guide the urologist in choosing an operative approach.
