[PERCUTANEOUS CYSTOLITHOTRIPSY: THE FIRST CLINICAL EXPERIENCE]
Abstract:
This paper reviews results of examination and treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and infravesical obstruction in 16 patients observed in Department of Urology of Zhukovsky CCH in 2013-2014. Most operated patients required particularly careful approach to the surgery planning due to advanced age and multiple comorbidities. Treatment of all patients was carried out in a single therapeutic session performed in two stages. Percutaneous cystolithotripsy was performed on the first stage and subsequently transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) was carried out. It was found, that combination of minimally invasive percutaneous approach and TURP is the most sparing way to restore lower urinary tract urodynamics and eliminate bladder stones in all operated patients. With appropriate patient selection and a clear definition of indications, proposed treatment combination is a promising and effective strategy in management of patient with urolithiasis with infravesical obstruction and BPH.
