Abstract

Summary We describe use of an improvised light source to perform cystoscopy and PUV resection while working in a resource poor setting. The light emitted from a mobile telephone LED (iPhone 6) was sufficient to perform the procedure and there was an excellent surgical outcome. We hope that this report may prove to be helpful to colleagues working in similar circumstances with limited resources. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
