A member asked:
Cystoscopy on july 11 and knee surgery on july 13 is it wise or not to do that test before knee surgery , is there or can there be any complications ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below : In general, there should be no problem. My only concern, especially if you were having a knee replacement (prosthesis) would be the possibility of acquiring a urine infection which happens in a small percentage of individuals after cystoscopy. Depending on the indications and urgency for doing the cystoscopy and type of knee surgery would usually determine the optimal timing and/or antibiotic use.
