The bladder doesn't empty completely. * Stone removal procedures: For most bladder stones that don't pass on their own, a urologist will typically remove them. * Transurethral cystolitholapaxy: This is the most common procedure. A thin tube with a camera (cystoscope) is inserted into the urethra and guided into the bladder. A laser, ultrasound, or crushing device breaks the stones into smaller fragments, which are then flushed out. This is usually done under local or general anesthetic. * Percutaneous suprapubic cystolitholapaxy: This method is often used for larger stones or in children to avoid damaging the urethra. A small incision is made in the lower abdomen and another in the bladder to directly remove the stones. This requires a general anesthetic. * Open cystostomy: This is rarely used but may be necessary for very large stones or in patients with a very large prostate, involving a larger incision in the lower abdomen. * Treating underlying causes: It's crucial to address the underlying cause of bladder stones (e.g., enlarged prostate, nerve damage) to prevent recurrence. Complications if untreated: If left untreated, bladder stones can lead to chronic bladder problems, recurrent UTIs, and in some cases, complete blockage of urine flow (urinary retention), which requires immediate medical attention.
