No monitor with my guy. Not sure it would make any difference for me as I wouldn't have a clue on what I was looking anyway.
DX 5/6/2008 TAG3 papillary tumor .5 CM in size. 2 TURBS followed by 6 instillations of BCG weekly with a second round of 6 after a 6 week wait.

Eight15,

My local, out in the boonies urologist, who is my backup if something unexpected were to suddenly happen, looked through the scope; no monitor for viewing.
Everyone else I have seen, including my current treater and all consultants have looked at the big screen, as do I. I like the screen - I can ask what is THAT ?

Best,
Jack

My urologist looks at a monitor. Sometimes they have one so that you can see also.

Does your urologist look at a monitor or through the scope when doing your Cysto?
