Percutaneous Cystolithotripsy As A Reliable Modality To Treat Pediatric Vesiculolithiasis

Abstract: Background: Primary vesical stones are common in children in underdeveloped and developing countries. The treatment options available for managing bladder calculi include transurethral cystolithotripsy, open cystolithotomy and shock wave lithotripsy (SWL). Although the majority of vesical calculi in adults can be treated by transurethral lithotripsy, this procedure is restricted in children due to the narrow caliber of the urethra. For this reason, percutaneous cystolithotripsy (PCCL) is a good choice as a saf… Show more

“…In addition, an infectious stone does not suggest a recurrent infectious stone, and no known clinical variables appear to be associated with stone composition, suggesting that there is a possible metabolic component in stone formation after bladder augmentation. 13 The conventional approach for treating bladder stones is open cystolithotomy. Transurethral cystolithotripsy is an option, but in pediatric patients, it is not optimal.…”

“…[5,8] Percutaneous cystolithotomy is a safe and effective alternative for the treatment of bladder stones in children. [12,13] Although this modality has have some benefits over conventional open cystolithotomy, but requires prolonged postoperative catheterization, with added risk of wound infection or fistula formation due to suprapubic incision. The standard treatment of pediatric bladder stones in developed world is transurethral LASER lithotripsy with 100% success rate and negligible morbidity.…”
