“…The incongruity between time from stones seen in previous studies to time to stone surgery noted in our study may in part be due to taking a more conservative approach to stone management, particularly with observation being an acceptable alternative in some cases. Stone surgery in people with SCI is often more difficult than the general population due to body habitus, contractures, and prior bladder surgeries and is associated with high rates of complications 6,14 . These factors may cause surgery to be deferred until the patient is symptomatic.…”

Aims To determine if a history of urinary stone surgery in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) is associated with an increased incidence of SCI‐related complications and lower quality of life (QOL). Methods The Neurogenic Bladder Research Group (NBRG) registry is a multicenter, prospective, observational study which measures QOL after acquired SCI. Over 1.5 years, 1479 participants were enrolled and grouped according to history of stone surgery. We evaluated SCI‐related complications, QOL, and associations between patient factors and prior stone surgery using multivariable regression. Results Participants were a median of 11 years post‐SCI and 189 (12.8%) reported prior bladder or kidney stone surgery; 95.8% of these occurred after the SCI. Median time between SCI and first stone was 5.6 years (IQR: 1.8–12.8). Hospitalizations were higher for those with prior stone surgery, with common reasons including UTIs, blood clots, pressure ulcers, and pneumonia (p < 0.001). During the year of observation, the incidence of stone surgery was 17% in those with a prior history of stone surgery and 2% per year in those without prior stone surgery (p < 0.001). Controlling for covariates, bladder management strategy, age, BMI, and years since SCI were associated with history of stone surgery. Conclusions People with SCI and a history of surgical stone disease are at high risk for episodes of recurrent stones and increased hospitalizations, particularly those with kidney stones and indwelling catheter use. Identification of high‐risk patients may guide tailored surveillance for complications and stone prevention strategies.
