Vesical lithotripsy

What is Vesical Stone Lithotripsy?

Vesical Stone Lithotripsy is a non-surgical procedure that breaks down bladder stones into smaller fragments, making them easier to remove or pass naturally. This procedure is recommended for patients experiencing:

• Bladder stones causing pain, difficulty urinating, or frequent urination.
• Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) due to bladder stones.
• Urinary retention or obstruction caused by large bladder stones.

How is the Procedure Performed?

• A thin endoscope is inserted through the urethra to access the bladder.
• Laser or ultrasonic waves are used to break the stone into smaller pieces.
• The fragments are removed or allowed to pass naturally through urine.
• The procedure is done under local or general anesthesia and usually requires a short hospital stay.
