Cystoscopy Evaluation Using Hypnosis as Only Anesthetic: A Case Report
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Pharmaceutical Case Reports - Year 2015, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Bladder cancer is the most common malignancy of the urinary tract. Cystoscopy evaluation is one of the follow-up procedure to determine the progress of bladder cancer. Hypnosis in many forms has been reported and practiced for millennia and secondarily promoted at the turn of the 19th century by several authors in the clinical arena. Several studies had demonstrated benefits of hypnosis in reducing pain intraoperatively. Here, we report on a 58-year-old man with bladder cancer who underwent cystoscopy evaluation using hypnosis as the only anesthetic.
