Summary
This study introduces a novel percutaneous approach for bladder calculi (stones) using a Hasson
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Minimally Invasive Surgery
Background:
- Bladder calculi present a common urological challenge.
- Traditional treatments include open cystolithotomy and transurethral cystolithalopaxy.
- Percutaneous cystolithotomy with an Amplatz sheath minimizes urethral instrumentation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe a new percutaneous technique for bladder stone removal.
- To evaluate the feasibility of using a Hasson's trocar for percutaneous bladder access.
Main Methods:
- A percutaneous approach utilizing a Hasson's trocar to access the bladder.
- Creation of one or more watertight ports for endoscopic instrument introduction.
Main Results:
- The Hasson's trocar facilitates a minimally invasive percutaneous entry.
- Watertight ports allow versatile introduction of various endoscopic surgical tools.
Conclusions:
- This Hasson's trocar technique offers a viable percutaneous alternative for bladder calculi.
- It expands the design possibilities for percutaneous bladder surgery.
- This method potentially reduces urethral instrumentation compared to traditional approaches.
