Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Urinary catheterisation is a procedure used to drain the bladder and collect urine, through a flexible tube called a catheter. Urinary catheters are usually inserted by doctors or nurses in hospital or the community.

Detailed explanation-2: -Your catheter is a hollow tube that is inserted into your bladder to drain urine. It is inserted into the bladder through the urethra (the channel you normally urinate through) and is known as urethral catheterisation. Your catheter will not fall out because it is held in place by a small balloon.

Detailed explanation-3: -Indwelling, straight, and suprapubic urinary catheters should be inserted using aseptic technique and sterile equipment. Sterile gloves, drape, and sponges; an appropriate antiseptic solution for periurethral cleaning and a single-use packet of lubricant jelly should be used for insertion.

Detailed explanation-4: -A cystoscope is a long, thin optical instrument with an eyepiece at one end, a rigid or flexible tube in the middle, and a tiny lens and light at the other end of the tube. A urologist fills the bladder with fluid and looks at detailed images of the urethra and bladder linings on a computer monitor.
