KidneyStone Cystolithotripsy

Cystolithotripsy is a minimally invasive procedure used to break down and remove bladder stones. It is performed endoscopically, providing a quicker recovery and less discomfort than open surgery.

Description

Bladder stones can form due to urinary retention, infection, or long-standing catheter use. When these stones are too large or symptomatic, cystolithotripsy is a preferred method. This procedure uses a cystoscope inserted through the urethra to visualize the stone and break it using laser, ultrasonic, or pneumatic energy.

Unlike open surgery, cystolithotripsy doesn’t require an incision, making it a safer option with fewer complications. It is ideal for patients with moderate-sized bladder stones, especially those unfit for major surgery. Patients usually go home the same day or after a short observation period, followed by recommendations to prevent recurrence.
