In addition to creating physical challenges, bladder and bowel problems may also affect your quality of life. They can be difficult to talk about, but you don't have to suffer in silence.

How is bladder cancer diagnosed? Doctors usually make the diagnosis by looking at the urine under the microscope, or a urologist will go inside the bladder to take a look and biopsy lesions.

Cystoscopy, the gold standard diagnostic tool for bladder cancer detection, has historically been performed using only white light for visualizing suspicious lesions.

Cystoscopy, the gold standard diagnostic tool for bladder cancer detection, has historically been performed using only white light for visualizing suspicious lesions.

Real-world study confirms the improved sensitivity of blue light vs white light cystoscopy (91% vs 79%) for detecting bladder cancer.

Virtuoso’s robotic system facilitates bladder lesion excision using a technique to remove lesions intact rather than piecemeal.

Interstitial cystitis is a chronic condition that may cause pain and discomfort. Learn more about life expectancy for people with interstitial cystitis here.

The robotic system facilitated a series of endoscopic bladder lesion excisions using the advanced en bloc technique that removes the bladder lesion intact rather than piecemeal.

As with bladder symptoms, bowel dysfunction can be traced to MS lesions that disrupt the parts of the central nervous system that control the bowel.
