A 15F flexible fiberoptic choledochonephroscope was used to perform bedside flexible cystoscopy in 5 critically ill patients. All 5 patients were receiving pressor agents, and 4 were intubated and dependent on a respirator. A ureteral stent was placed in the renal pelvis in 3 patients. The flexible endoscope enables the urologist to bring diagnostic and therapeutic cystoscopy directly to the bedside.
