“…The treatment and management of stones have been comprehensively reviewed elsewhere (11,12). Knowledge of the type of precipitant may aid in the prediction of the type of stones likely to be formed and therefore help with selection of the most appropriate treatment regimen.…”

For accurate analysis of these analytes in urine, the pH should be routinely measured and acidification should be undertaken prior to analysis if the pH is greater than 6.5. Based on the findings of this study, acidification or the lack of it does not result in a clinically significant change in calcium, magnesium and phosphate measured in urine. This study also predicted the likely salt species formed at varying urinary pH values and phosphate concentrations.

“…The stone removal could be done with open or endoscopic techniques. [21] In review of literature, most of cases stone was managed by transvesical suprapubic open cystolithotomy or by transvaginal route with chisel and hammer or forceps. [2,9,19,22,23,24] Dalela et al [2] suggested stone could be removed endoscopic cystolithotripsy which can prevent unnecessary trauma to the ureter and extension of the fistula tract by forceful traction applied during open methods of stone retrieval.…”

Vesicovaginal fistula (VVF) due to various obstetric or gynecological causes is not uncommon but vesicovaginal stone in association with VVF is extremely rare presentation. The symptoms of vesicovaginal stone may be variable from recurrent urinary tract infections to perineal swelling with urinary incontinence. To diagnose stone associated with VVF only pervaginal examination is sufficient without need of any invasive investigations but still it is missed or diagnosed lately. To increase knowledge of this unusual condition we present case series of four such rare cases to outline safety and efficacy of endoscopic laser lithotripsy approach to manage vesicovaginal stone. We have used endoscopic laser lithotripsy method to clear the vesicovaginal stone which is minimally invasive way to provide early recovery by avoiding open surgical approach. Subsequently fistula can be repaired successfully after 6 weeks once bladder and vaginal wall infection and inflammation related to stone subside. To minimize morbidity in our cases we have specially used holmium laser energy to break the stone.
