Introduction: Bladder stones formation is a common problem following augmentation cystoplasty. Standard techniques such as endoscopic lithotripsy and open surgery are questionable because of the number and size of the calculi and their high relapse rate. We describe our experience with a minimally invasive technique using the One Port through a single percutaneous access. Materials and Methods:...

Much has appeared of late in the Medical Journals on the subject of stone in the bladder, and the Indian Medical Gazette has devoted a special number to its discussion and the various modes of treatment; but very little mention has been made of encysted stone, and most textbooks refer but very briefly to the subject. Having recently had occasion to operate on a case of encysted stone, I think i...

bladder calculi, a rare condition in the pediatric population, occur most commonly as a result of either migration from the kidney or urinary stasis in the bladder. we report the case of a 3-year-old boy with recurrent urinary tract infections (uti) secondary to bladder calculi formation on the sutures from a previous herniorrhaphy.a 3-year-old boy with previous history of herniorrhaphy present...

The reduced metastability of biliary cholesterol in the gall bladder bile of patients with cholesterol gall stones has been well shown. The purpose of this study was to examine the hypothesis that such a difference in metastability already exists in hepatic bile. Paired hepatic and gall bladder bile samples were collected from 10 patients with cholesterol gall stones and six patients without ga...

We report a 52 year old patient presenting with a bladder stone formed over a migrated intrauterine device (Copper-T). Her history was pertinent for intrauterine contraceptive (IUCD) device placement 10 years back. Investigations included plain ultrasound of abdomen, X-ray of abdomen, urinalysis, and urine culture. Ultrasound and plain X-ray of the pelvis confirmed a bladder stone formed over a...

An 89-year-old male presented with dysuria and oliguria. He had a history of benign prostate hyperplasia and neurogenic bladder under long-term Foley catheter use of 10 years. Recurrent urinary tract infections had occurred since then. The laboratory data showed acute renal failure with a blood urea nitrogen (BUN) of 57 mg/dL, creatinine 3.61 mg/dL (baseline renal function 6 months before admis...

I read the article by Mannan et al with great interest.(1) The authors have presented several interesting cases from Pakistan regarding foreign bodies in the bladder, which is a significant contribution to the literature. However, there were no cases of polypyroplene suture encrustation in bladder in the series. We would like to report a rare case from Turkey, in which a bladder stone was forme...
