Bladder Stones
Endoscopic cystolithotripsy with immediate stone removal.
Bladder stones usually form when the bladder does not empty completely over a long time — most often because of an enlarged prostate or a narrowed urethra.
Treating the stone and its cause together reduces the chance of it returning.
Signs and symptoms
- Pain in the lower abdomen or tip of the penis
- Interrupted stream
- Blood in urine
- Frequent urinary infections
Treatment options at Soni Hospital
Endoscopic cystolithotripsy
A scope passed into the bladder breaks the stone, and fragments are removed in the same sitting.
Treating the cause
Prostate obstruction or stricture may be corrected at the same time where appropriate.
What to expect
- Ultrasound or X-ray to confirm the stone
- Assessment of bladder emptying
Recovery and follow-up
- Short stay
- Brief catheterisation in some patients
