available at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30793929 Editorial Comment: I have often wondered if there is any benefit to a patient watching his or her cystoscopy during the procedure. In this study patients were given the choice of watching the cystoscopy procedures. Interestingly enough, in male patients there was no difference in pain perception, whereas in female patients there was a significant reduction in pain in those who visualized the cystoscopy. Not surprisingly, there was a decrease in pain perception in those individuals who had previously undergone cystoscopy. It may be beneficial to encourage female patients to watch their cystoscopy on the monitor.
