“…Furthermore, dehydration, diarrhea, fever and infection may reduce urine output and increase crystallization 6 . These conditions acidify the urine and contribute to the formation of bladder stones 5 . The children endemic vesical lithiasis is commonly associated with uric acid stones, isolated or associated with calcium oxalate.…”

ABSTRACT ABSTRACT ABSTRACT Bladder stones are rare and in most cases occur in adult men with bladder outlet obstruction. Currently, there are few data on the best treatment of this disease. The aim of this review is to discuss some aspects of pathogenesis and treatment approaches for bladder lithiasis. A comprehensive search of the database of the "National Library of Medicine" / pubmed was conducted with the following key words and descriptors: "bladder" or "vesical" associated with "calculus", "stone" or "lithiasis", and "cystolithotripsy ". One hundred and seventy-one articles were identified. The articles were independently assessed by two reviewers with expertise in urolithiasis. They were included in the study when the results, complications and follow-up were clearly reported. In the end, 32 studies met the inclusion criteria. Several options for the treatment of bladder lithiasis are available, but no randomized trials comparing them. Different rates of calculus-free patients are described in each of them, as follows: extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (75-100%), transurethral cystolithotripsy (63-100%), percutaneous cystolithotripsy (89-100%) and open surgery (100 %). The percutaneous approach has lower morbidity, with similar results to the transurethral treatment, while extracorporeal lithotripsy has the lowest rate of elimination of calculi and is reserved for patients at high surgical risk.

Spontaneous Expulsion of Giant Bladder Stone: Case Report

et al. 2018

Urinary stones of up to 5 mm of diameter are known to pass spontaneously through the urinary tract; whereas those exceeding 7 mm of diameter almost always require surgical intervention. To the best of our knowledge, the option of expectant management for large stones is rarely considered. We report an unusual case of a woman who spontaneously passed out two large bladder stones measuring 70 and 60 mm without having significant pain or bleeding. We find this case striking for the fact that giant bladder stones can expel spontaneously without any surgical manipulations.

“…Nowadays, bladder stones or calculi represent approximately 5% of all cases of urolithiasis. 1 Formations of bladder calculi are usually facilitated by the presence of bladder outlet obstruction, neurogenic voiding dysfunction, infection, as well as foreign objects.…”

ABSTRAK (2,5 cm±2,0 cm vs 4,8 cm±3,7 cm vs 7,4 cm±5,4 cm secara berurutan). Prosedur ESWL dilakukan pada klinik rawat jalan. Kesimpulan: ESWL dapat direkomendaasikan sebagai modalitas terapi yang efektif dan non-invasif dalam penanganan batu buli dengan angka bebas batu yang cukup baik (93,9%)Tindakan ESWL bisa dilakukan di poliklinik rawat jalan dengan komplikasi yang minimal. ABSTRACTBackground: Bladder stone accounts for 5% of all cases of urolithiasis. Bladder stones management has evolved over the last decades from open bladder surgery (sectio alta) to intracorporeal cystholithotripsy as well as extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL). ESWL presents to be a promising modality in the management of bladder calculi due to its simplicity and well tolerability. This study is thus conducted to present data on the safety and effectiveness of ESWL in the management of bladder stone patients.
