What is Cystolithopexy?
Cystolithopexy involves accessing the bladder via a small incision (open or laparoscopic) to directly remove large or multiple bladder stones. This traditional approach is preferred when stones cannot be fragmented or removed via urethral endoscopy methods. It is often combined with treatments addressing underlying conditions such as bladder outlet obstruction.
Why is Cystolithopexy Performed?
- To remove large or multiple bladder stones not manageable by endoscopic methods
- For patients with complicated bladder stone disease
- When associated with other lower urinary tract surgeries requiring bladder access
- To prevent recurrent urinary infections, pain, and urinary obstruction caused by stones
Cystolithopexy Procedure Overview
- Performed under general or spinal anesthesia
- A small suprapubic incision is made to access the bladder directly
- Stones are carefully extracted from the bladder
- The bladder is inspected for other pathologies and repaired if required
- The incision is then closed in layers after ensuring stone removal
