According to the research citing of the National Kidney Foundation report 2015, 1 in 5 women encounter urinary tract infection once in a lifetime. Injuries occurring in the lower urinary tract are uncommon, as against the frequent injuries inflicted on the urinary bladder during surgical procedures. Bladder injuries are easily diagnosed and treated immediately. Ureteral injuries and related complications are very difficult to diagnose, and if left untreated, is life threatening with potential damage to the kidney. Cystoscopy is very useful in the diagnosis and treatment of urinary bladder. White light cystoscopy is still considered as the gold standard for the diagnosis of bladder urothelium. The challenge associated with this technology is the ambiguity in the visual determination of high-grade and low-grade cancer. Cystoscopes have undergone technical development such as ability to generate narrow band imaging, which gives better resolution images of the mucosal and sub mucosal vessels without contrast dye. Ureteroscopes have undergone technical advancement in the last 3 decades, with wide utilization in the treatment of the urolithiasis. Currently, the flexible ureteroscopes are used in combination with holmium: yttirum aluminum garnet laser for the treatment of renal calculi of size less than 2 cm.
The types of urology endoscopes available for the treatment and diagnosis of urological complications are resectoscopes, cystoscopes and ureteroscopes.

Urology endoscopes find wide application for the diagnosis and treatment of urological complications such as disorders of the lower and upper urinary tract. Kidney stones and urothelial tumors can be diagnosed and treated by employing urology endosocpes. Endoscopic devices have been designed ergonomically for convenient and easy handling and to perform accurate diagnosis. The camera employed in the endoscopes have the flexibility to rotate 360 degrees to give a complete view of the infected site in the urinary tract. Resectoscopes are primarily used for performing biopsy studies of the urethral endothelium and uterine disorders such as uterine polyps, endometrial hyperplasia etc. Saline resectoscopes are most frequently employed to reduce the risk of transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) syndrome and obtain accurate cutting and coagulation of tissues making a bloodless treatment possible. Cystoscopes are used for the diagnosis of urinary bladder, hematuria, interstitial cystitis etc. They are available in different sizes with better ergonomic designs and special sheaths for female patients. Ureteroscopes are set to register significant growth due to rising prevalence of urinary tract infection and are also useful in the diagnosis and treatment of renal calculi in the ureter region. The market players actively engaged in the manufacturing of urology endoscopes are Karl Storz, Boston Scientific Corporation, Cook Medical, Inc., Covidien Plc, Richard Wolf GmbH, Ethicon Endo-Surgery, Inc., Invendo Medical GmbH, Olympus Corporation, Siemens Healthcare and Stryker Corporation.
Urethral stricture is the most common urethral complication seen more in men as compared to women. It is inflammation of urethra resulting due to trauma, injury, infection or surgery of urethra. Obstruction of urethra leads to other complications such as dysuria, urine retention and urine incontinence. Cystitis is the most frequent urinary bladder complication which occurs due to the bacterial infection of the bladder wall mucosa by E.Coli. Later progression of disease results in formation of scars in the bladder walls leading to hematuria, painful micturition and discomfort in the lower abdomen region. Urolithiasis is the formation of calculi in the ureter and bladder region. Ureteroscopes are combined with lasers for the treatment of calculi less than 2 cm in size. Glomerulonephritis is caused due to injury to kidney cells which results in the inability of the kidneys to get rid of toxic waste materials and extra body fluids thereby resulting in kidney failure.
The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Development 2015 report states that in United States, the number of patients visiting primary healthcare centers for urinary tract infection every year is 8.1 million. It has higher recurrence in obese women as against in men. North America dominates the urology endoscopes market owing to increasing number of patients suffering with urological complications, and evolved healthcare infrastructure performing effective diagnosis. Rising prevalence of urinary calculi and cervical cancer drives the urology endoscopes market in Europe. Domicile of key market players pioneering in the production of urology endoscopes contributes to the positive growth of Europe. The growth of Asia Pacific market is governed by the increasing number of female patients from rural areas suffering with urinary tract infection due to lack of self-hygiene and lack of access to means of hygiene.
