a) older adults

Procedure:

- evaluation of the prostate may be done during cystoscopy [1]
- multiple bladder biopsies enhance yield of detecting carcinoma in situ
Complications:
- risk of infections associated with reprocessed urological endoscopes, including cystoscopes, ureteroscopes, & cystourethroscopes [2]
