Cystoscopy during a hysterectomy may decrease the rate of lower urinary tract injury. Our department has developed a new wireless endoscopic setup that couples a rigid 30 degree , 4-mm cystoscope with a wireless camera modified with a special adapter. We used a portable and rechargeable light source. Two cases performed with the new setup are presented in the videos. This report presents the use of a wireless, low-cost and portable camera throughout the course of cystoscopy and the results are promising. The new technique is feasible and easy reproducible and could contribute to making cystoscopy during gynecologic surgery cost-effective.

Obstetric anal sphincter injury is a common complication of vaginal delivery. Such injuries are more likely to result in postpartum fecal incontinence and thus diagnosis and restoration of perineal injuries at the time of vaginal delivery is of paramount importance.
