Cystolithotripsy

Cystolithotripsy

The goal of Cystolithotripsy is to treat urinary bladder stones. With the exception of very large stones, it is a therapeutic alternative that is recommended for practically all bladder stones.

How Is a Cystolithotripsy Administered?

When performing cystolithotripsy, either spinal or general anesthesia is used. The genital area is cleaned and the urethra is lubricated before the patient is initially positioned in the gynecological examination position. To locate the stones, a camera is put through the urethra. The lithotripter is an instrument that is attached to the camera and is used to extract and crush stones into little fragments. A catheter is inserted once the treatment is complete. Constant bladder irrigation is required in cases of hematuria (blood in the urine).
