New home sheds light on a brutal history of urology
In Linthicum Maryland the Wilheim P Didusch Center for Urologic History displays 19th century instruments once lit by candles and crude probes. The exhibit contrasts candlelight cystoscopes with fiber optic scopes and the pistol shaped resectoscope. It notes high early mortality rates and large drops over time as techniques improved.
