The technique was successful in all cases, resulting in controlled, stone-free bladders; there were no surgical complications. The mean operation time was comparable to that of standard management. All patients discharged uneventfully. None reported urethral stricture during the 24-month follow-up period. Percutaneous cystolithotripsy under endoscopic control is easy to perform and should be considered as an alternative for large or multiple bladder stones as it decreases the risk of urethral stricture.
