INTRODUCTION Bladder calculi account for 5% of all urinary system calculi. They are usually seen in older men and occur because of infravesical obstructions such as prostate hyperplasia, neurogenic bladder, urinary tract infection (UTI), foreign bodies, but anti-incontinence surgery in woman and rarely pregnancy can also be predisposing factors for bladder calculus. Bladder stones could also be...

BACKGROUND Electrohydraulic lithotripsy (EHL) has been used as an alternative to cystotomy in human medicine to remove urinary calculi. This prospective study evaluated the efficacy and safety of EHL to remove urinary calculi in dogs. HYPOTHESIS EHL is an efficient and safe method of treatment of bladder and urethral calculi in dogs. METHODS Dogs presented between January 1, 2005 and June 1...

Objectives: To study the pattern and demographic features of patients with urinary bladder calculi, in El Obeid Hospital; Western Sudan. Patients and Methods: In this study the recordsof sixty patients with urinary bladder stones were reviewed. The data were analyzed for age, sex, locality, clinical features, the treatment offered and outcomes. Results: The male: female ratio was 14:1. 53 patie...

Computer tomography through the kidneys, ureters and bladder (CT KUB) is the mainstay investigation of suspected renal tract calculi. However, several pathologies other than renal tract calculi can cause apparent urinary bladder calcification. We describe the case of a 45 year old man who presented with left sided renal colic. Prone CT KUB performed on admission revealed a calcified urachal rem...

In Experiment 1, groups of thirty 6-wk-old male and female F344 rats were given diets containing 0 (control) or 3% uracil for 104 wk. In the uracil-treated groups, carcinomas, in particular transitional cell carcinomas, developed in the urinary bladder of 90% of the males and 19% of the females. Squamous cell carcinomas also developed in 10% of the males, but not in females. Striking findings w...

AIM To determine the (i) sensitivity and specificity of ultrasound (USG) in the detection of urinary tract calculi, (ii) size of renal calculi detected on USG, and (iii) size of renal calculi not seen on USG but detected on computed tomography urogram (CTU). METHODS A total of 201 patients' USG and CTU were compared retrospectively for the presence of calculi. Sensitivity, specificity, accura...

We aim to find the risk factors that influence the formation of bladder calculi in patients with benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) and to reduce the surgical intervention related to bladder calculi.Between January 2015 and October 2016, 332 patients with BPH underwent surgical therapy were retrospectively evaluated. Patients with BPH were categorized into 2 groups: 94 patients with bladder calc...
