Endourology means use of small telescope (often called as durbin in local language) for the diagnosis and management of many diseases. Now with latest new technology, small size telescopes are available. We have smallest telescope 1.8 mm and cystoresectoscope 8 F which can be used even for infants as well. Many surgeries can be done using endourology, thus avoiding open cuts for surgery.
