Microexplosion lithotripsy achieved a 100% success rate in treating bladder calculi in 105 patients. This minimally invasive procedure is now considered a primary treatment option for bladder stones.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Bladder calculi (bladder stones) can cause significant patient discomfort and complications.
  • Effective and safe treatment options for bladder calculi are continuously sought.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of microexplosion lithotripsy for treating bladder calculi.
  • To establish microexplosion lithotripsy as a potential first-line treatment for bladder stones.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective study involving 105 consecutive patients with bladder calculi.
  • Treatment was performed using microexplosion lithotripsy under spinal or general anesthesia.
  • Data collection included success rates, stone weight, and complication incidence.

Main Results:

  • Microexplosion lithotripsy demonstrated a 100% success rate in all 105 patients.
  • Average removed stone weight was 18 gm (range: 2-305 gm).
  • A single instance of minor extraperitoneal bladder perforation occurred, resolving spontaneously.

Conclusions:

  • Microexplosion lithotripsy is a highly effective treatment for bladder calculi.
  • The procedure is associated with a low complication rate.
  • Microexplosion lithotripsy is recommended as the treatment of first choice for bladder calculi.
