    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Nephrology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Prostatectomy, a common procedure for benign and malignant prostatic conditions, can lead to lower urinary tract stone formation.
    • Urolithiasis following prostatectomy presents a unique clinical challenge, necessitating a review of existing literature and case studies.

    Observation:

    • Analysis of nine new cases and 233 literature cases reveals stone formation in the bladder, prostatic fossa, or iatrogenic pouches post-prostatectomy.
    • Stones can occur after both surgical and endoscopic prostatectomy procedures for various prostatic pathologies.
    • Diagnostic challenges include non-radiopaque stones and potential endoscopic visualization difficulties.

    Findings:

    • Bladder calculi often result from urinary stasis due to bladder neck contracture or recurrent prostatic enlargement.

  • Prostatic fossa calculi etiology includes retained ligatures, infection, or residual prostatic tissue.
  • The location and cause of stone formation vary depending on the specific surgical technique and patient factors.

    • Implications:

    • Understanding the diverse etiologies of post-prostatectomy urolithiasis is crucial for accurate diagnosis and effective management.
    • Meticulous postoperative care and vigilant monitoring are essential for preventing stone recurrence and associated complications.
    • Further research into preventative strategies and improved diagnostic modalities for these specific calculi is warranted.
