Urology Endoscopes Market

Market Insights:

According to the research cited in the 2015 National Kidney Foundation report, 1 in 5 women will encounter a urinary tract infection once in their lifetime. Injuries occurring in the lower urinary tract are uncommon, as opposed to 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, are life-threatening, with potential damage to the kidney. Cystoscopy is very useful in the diagnosis and treatment of the urinary bladder. White-light cystoscopy is still considered 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 developments such as the ability to generate narrow-band imaging, which gives better-resolution images of the mucosal and submucosal vessels without contrast dye. Ureteroscopes have undergone significant technical advancement in the last three decades, with wide use in the treatment of urolithiasis. Currently, flexible ureteroscopes are used in combination with holmium and a yttrium aluminum garnet laser for the treatment of renal calculi less than 2 cm in size.

The types of urology endoscopes available for the treatment and diagnosis of urological complications are resectoscopes, cystoscopes, and ureteroscopes. The applications segment includes urological complications such as urethral malignancies, urinary bladder malignancies, urolithiasis, glomerulonephritis, and others. The market assessment is covered in the scope of the report, along with the respective CAGR and market size for the mentioned segments.

Cross-sectional analysis, along with their respective market sizes and data forecasts, is covered in this section.

Porter’s five forces model, covered in this report, is useful in understanding the competitive environment associated with the global urology endoscope market. The term “competitive landscape” is used for the elucidation of the prevailing competition among existing players and new entrants. CAGR and market size are used for identifying the most attractive investment proposition with respect to a geographical region. The product portfolio highlights the different varieties of resectoscopes, cystoscopes, and ureteroscopes with effective ergonomic design to enhance patient compliance and effective diagnosis. Recent news coverage provides a brief update on technological advancements in endoscope lenses and cameras for accurate diagnosis. The market leaders 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.

The global urology endoscopes market is divided into three segments based on device type:

• Resectoscopes
• Cystoscopes
• Ureteroscopes

Urology endoscopes are widely used in the diagnosis and treatment of urological complications, such as lower and upper urinary tract disorders. Kidney stones and urothelial tumors can be diagnosed and treated by employing urology endoscopists. Endoscopic devices have been designed ergonomically for convenient and easy handling and to perform an accurate diagnosis. The camera employed in the endoscopes has 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 disease, 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 the rising prevalence of urinary tract infections 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.

The global urology endoscope market is classified into the following applications:

• Urethral Malignancies
• Malignancies of the Urinary Bladder
• Urolithiasis
• Glomerulonephritis
• Others

Urethral stricture is the most common urethral complication, seen more in men as compared to women. It is urethral inflammation caused by urethral trauma, injury, infection, or surgery. Obstruction of the 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 the disease results in the 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 regions. Ureteroscopes are combined with lasers for the treatment of calculi less than 2 cm in size. Glomerulonephritis is caused by 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.

For the purpose of this study, the global urology endoscope market is classified into the following regional and country-specific segments:

• North America
  • U.S.
  • Canada
• Europe
  • Germany
  • France
  • Italy
  • U.K.
  • Russia
  • Rest of Europe
• Asia-Pacific
  • India

  • Rest of Asia-Pacific
• Latin America
  • Brazil
  • Mexico
  • Rest of Latin America
• Middle East and Africa
  • GCC Countries
  • South Africa
  • Rest of Middle East and Africa

The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Development 2015 report states that in the United States, the number of patients visiting primary healthcare centers for urinary tract infections every year is 8.1 million. It has a higher recurrence in obese women than in men. Because of the growing number of patients suffering from urological complications and the evolving healthcare infrastructure capable of performing effective diagnoses, North America dominates the urology endoscope market. The rising prevalence of urinary calculi and cervical cancer drives the urology endoscope market in Europe. The presence of key market players who are pioneers in the production of urology endoscopes contributes to Europe’s positive growth. The Asia-Pacific market is growing due to an increase in female patients from rural areas suffering from urinary tract infections due to a lack of hygiene and access to means of hygiene.
