Summary
Cystoscopy is a simple, effective and reliable method in current urological practice.
Anesthesia may be required in cystoscopy for therapeutic purpose, however it may not be
necessary for diagnostic cystoscopy. General anesthesia, spinal anesthesia, epidural
anaesthesia and senile block methods may be performed in therapeutic cystoscopy.
Pain is main reason of failed cystoscopy. Sedo-analgesia and LMA are generally used for
diagnostic cystoscopies. LMA is mostly placed under general anesthesia with the combination
of propofol-fentanyl and volatile anesthetics. There is no need for muscle relaxant
administration in LMA placement, as it is necessary for intubation. However if muscle
relaxant is not used, side effects like hiccup, straining, cough, undesirable muscle
movement, hypoxia and laryngeal spasm may be observed.
For the improvement of the patient comfort the use of effective muscle relaxants are
described in several studies in literature. This study aimed to reveal the quality of
anesthesia, hemodynamics, surgical comfort, extra propofol need and recovery time while low
dose of muscle relaxant rocuronium was added to propofol-fentanyl combination for LMA
placement.
