Summary

Multiple bladder stones are rare with pelvic organ prolapse. This case highlights chronic infection and obstruction as likely causes, treated with open cystolithotomy during anti-incontinence surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Gynecology

Background:

  • Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) can lead to urinary complications.
  • Bladder calculi (stones) are uncommon in the context of POP.

Observation:

  • A rare case of multiple bladder calculi was observed in a patient with pelvic organ prolapse.
  • The patient presented with symptoms suggestive of chronic urinary tract infection and bladder outlet obstruction.

Findings:

  • Long-standing pelvic organ prolapse and bladder outlet obstruction were identified as potential contributing factors.
  • Surgical intervention included an open cystolithotomy for calculus removal concurrently with an abdominal anti-incontinence procedure.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the complex interplay between pelvic organ prolapse, urinary stasis, and stone formation.
