Rigid cyctoscopy and urethrotomy

[StephenM44]

Anybody have anything helpful to say about these ? One of the most alarming ops I can imagine . . . being done under general anaesthetic with possible bladder neck incision too but I hope that's not necessary. (I declined flexible cyctoscopy as it's not done under general)

What is pain level like in recovery ? Will I have a problem walking or driving ?

Thanks

Thanks for the comments, much appreciated. Doesn't sound too bad then, at least not something to be terrified of. Because of the nature of the operation and the entrance . . . it did initially fill me with terror.
