How long does a cystoscopy last?

Typically, a cystoscopy takes between 5 and 20 minutes to complete. However, the exact duration of the procedure can vary depending on factors such as the complexity of the case, the individual's underlying conditions, and the type of cystoscope used. Additionally, if any biopsies or other treatments are performed during the cystoscopy, these can lengthen the overall procedure time. Your doctor will be able to provide more specific information regarding the expected duration of your cystoscopy.
