Thank you. Those things dont sound too bad. I am othwrwise in great health. Do you thing bigger tedts like cytoscopy and colonostomy will br needed. I am really hoping not. I think theae are more for diagnosis but am not sure.
Thanks
Thanks
Brief Answer:
Better be done.
Detailed Answer:
Nice to know that your are in a great health.
Ideally cystoscopy and colonoscopy should be done as it is necessary to see any associated problems.
These tests are not merely for diagnosis but can also have a direct impact on the surgical approach and less of surprises on starting the actual surgery.
Take care, all the best.
