  • Title: New Iglesias resectoscope with continuous irrigation, simultaneous suction and low intravesical pressure.
    Author: Iglesias JJ, Sporer A, Gellman AC, Seebode JJ.
    Journal: J Urol; 1975 Dec; 114(6):929-33. PubMed ID: 1195477.
    Abstract:
    The new Iglesias resectoscope that allows simultaneous suction, continuous irrigation and low intravesical pressure is described. Advantages of this instrument include no interruption, better endoscopic vision by a continuous clear inflow of more than 600 ml. per minute, a low intravesical pressure less than 10 mm. Hg during the transurethral resection, shorter operating time, less bleeding, easier teaching and no more wet floor and wet surgeon. Since the entire amount of irrigating fluid is collected blood loss can be calculated and the amount of absorption can be determined.
