Abstract
A resectoscope for laser coagulation and cutting of prostatic or bladder tissue. The resectoscope also uses a mechanical cutting element having sharp blades rotating at high speed to further cut the coagulated lased tissue. The combination of coagulating/cutting using the laser energy with further cutting by mechanical means allows the surgeon to perform this procedure more quickly and efficiently, and permits retrieval of the resected tissue for pathological examination.
