KidneyStone Cystolithotomy

Cystolithotomy is a surgical procedure used to remove large or hard bladder stones that cannot be treated with non-invasive methods. It provides immediate relief from pain, obstruction, and recurrent infections caused by these stones.

Description

While most kidney or bladder stones can be managed with endoscopic or non-invasive methods, large or impacted stones in the bladder may require open or minimally invasive surgery. Cystolithotomy involves making a small incision in the lower abdomen to access and remove the stone(s) directly from the bladder.

This procedure is typically chosen when bladder stones are too big, multiple, or resistant to fragmentation methods like lithotripsy. It’s also done when patients have anatomical abnormalities or simultaneous bladder issues that need correction. The surgery is safe and effective, with a short hospital stay and a good long-term outcome when followed by hydration and dietary care to prevent recurrence.
