Answer: B-An example of a type of surgical procedure performed for diagnostic purposes would be a cystoscopy. This procedure involves examining the interior portion of the bladder to diagnose associated health problems, such as blood in the urine, incontinence or bladder stones. A colostomy involves connecting the intestine to the exterior portion of the body through an incision and is typically not a diagnostic procedure. Similarly, hip arthroplasty and otoplasty involve reconstructing the hip and ear, respectively, and are not used for diagnostic purposes.
