Foreign bodies and urinary stones.

D L Dalton, J Hughes, J F Glenn

    Urology
    |July 1, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary

    This review examines how foreign bodies trigger stone formation (calculogenesis) in the urinary tract. It investigates factors like infection and pH, and categorizes stones based on their location and introduction method.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Foreign bodies in the urinary tract can lead to the development of stones (calculogenesis).
    • Understanding the factors influencing foreign body stone formation is crucial for prevention and treatment.
    • Previous research has explored various aspects of this condition, but a comprehensive review is needed.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the experimental and clinical aspects of foreign body-induced calculogenesis.
    • To investigate key factors contributing to stone formation around foreign bodies.
    • To categorize clinical cases of foreign body stones based on their characteristics.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of experimental and clinical studies on foreign body calculogenesis.
    • Analysis of factors including infection, urine dilution, urinary pH, and suture materials.
    • Categorization of reported clinical foreign body stones.

    Main Results:

    • Foreign bodies serve as a nidus for stone formation.
    • Infection, urine composition (dilution, pH), and biomaterials (suture materials) significantly influence calculogenesis.
    • Clinical foreign body stones vary in type, location within the urinary tract, and mode of introduction.

    Conclusions:

    • Foreign bodies are a significant cause of urinary stone formation.
    • Multiple factors interact to promote the development of these stones.
    • Classification based on clinical presentation aids in understanding and managing these complex cases.
