Closed circuit television for the urologist

Closed circuit colour television (CCTV) is now widely used by urologists in the UK. Few urological surgeons now crane their necks to put an eye to the telescope of their instruments, preferring to sit comfortably looking at the colour monitor conveniently placed in front of them (Fig. 3.1). They thus protect their cervical discs1 and lessen the risk of facial contamination by blood and irrigant2.
