Feature Article - Dr. John Denstedt
Dr. John Denstedt (Professor, Division of Urology) was recently featured by St. Joseph’s Health Care Foundation in an article highlighting advances in cystoscopy technology within St. Joseph’s Urology Program. In the feature, Dr. Denstedt discusses the evolution of cystoscopy, one of the most commonly performed urologic procedures used to diagnose and treat conditions of the urinary tract, including infections, stones, and bladder cancer. Over his more than 35 years at St. Joseph’s, Dr. Denstedt has witnessed significant technological advancements that have transformed both visualization and patient comfort.
The article highlights the recent introduction of donor-funded flexible digital video cystoscopes, which provide enhanced image clarity and improved diagnostic capability. These innovations support earlier detection, more precise assessment, and a more comfortable experience for patients undergoing the procedure, both in clinic and in the operating room.
Dr. Denstedt emphasizes that continued innovation in technology is essential to maintaining the highest standards of urologic care, an effort made possible through strong clinical leadership and the support of philanthropic partners. Congratulations, Dr. Denstedt!
