  • What is Cystolithotripsy?

    Cystolithotripsy surgery is a modern bladder calculi management procedure. It aims at treating urinary bladder stones that are small or medium in size. Generally, stones that are very large in size are not treated through this method. In this method of bladder stone treatment, the surgeons use a device called a lithotripter to break or crush the stones into fine pieces, which are then extracted. This method poses minimal risk of complications and ensures a fast patient recovery.

    What Happens In Cystolithotripsy Surgery?

    Diagnosis

    The diagnosis process before Cystolithotripsy consists of a physical examination in which the doctor asks questions about the symptoms the patient is experiencing, their medical history, lifestyle habits, and so on. Additionally, the doctor will also assess your lower abdomen to check whether the prostate is enlarged or not. To ensure the presence of stones, figure out their size and location, and assess other underlying conditions, the doctor might suggest a combination of the following tests: 

    Urine Test: It helps in checking the amounts of blood, bacteria, crystallised minerals, and urinary tract infection that may have resulted in the formation of bladder stones.

    CT Scan: A CT scan provides clear images of the internal structures of the body and helps doctors locate tiny stones. It is considered the most sensitive test for bladder stones. 

    Ultrasound: In this test, sound waves are used to obtain images of the internal organs that help detect bladder stones of different sizes. 

    X-ray: The doctor might suggest an x-ray of the bladder, ureter and bladder stones to look for stones.

    How to prepare for Cystolithotripsy Surgery?

    Here’s how you can prepare for Cystolithotripsy surgery: 

    • Talk to the doctor about the medicines you’re taking. Also, make sure you get all your questions answered. 
    • This treatment is performed under anaesthesia. Therefore, stop eating or drinking anything 8 hours before the procedure. 
    • Make sure you bring an attendant with you and leave all valuables at home.

    How is Cystolithotripsy performed?

    Cystolithotripsy surgery is performed in the following steps: 

    • Cystolithotripsy for bladder stones is performed under anaesthesia. The choice of anaesthesia- spinal or general, depends upon the doctor and the patient. 
    • After administering anaesthesia, the patient is made to lie in the lithotomy position, the genital area is properly cleaned, and the urethra is lubricated. 
    • In the next step, the surgeon inserts a camera through the urethra to localise the stone. Then, a lithotripter is used for crushing the stones to allow easy extraction. In laser cystolithotripsy, a laser is used to break the stones. 
    • A catheter is placed, and the crushed stones are allowed to pass through the system naturally.

    What happens after Cystolithotripsy?

    Complete recovery after Cystolithotripst can vary from a couple of days to a week. It is normal for patients to experience burning in the urethra and blood in the urine for some days following the procedure. Some patients might also experience bladder spasms due to the catheter, which is generally short-lived. All these symptoms are manageable with proper care and medicines prescribed by the doctor. When the catheter is removed, the doctor monitors the urination mechanism with ultrasound. 

    Doctors generally ask patients to abstain from physical activity for a couple of days after surgery. You’ll also be asked to drink ample fluids and take the prescribed medicines on time. 

    Frequently Asked Questions on Cystolithotripsy

    Is Cystolithotripsy painful?

    Not really. Patients receive anaesthesia before the surgery, which keeps them sedated throughout. However, some patients may experience mild pain and discomfort after the surgery, which can be managed through medicines. 

    Is Cystolithripsy covered in insurance?

    Yes. Cystolithotripsy becomes necessary when bladder stones cause painful symptoms and may also lead to further complications. Therefore, most insurance companies offer insurance coverage for this procedure. However, the amount of coverage offered can vary. You can get in touch with your policy provider to get clarity on insurance coverage for Cystolithotripsy. 

    What questions should I ask the doctor before Cystolithoripsy surgery?

    Here are some questions you should ask your doctor before undergoing cystolithotripsy surgery: 

    • How should I prepare for the surgery?
    • How is the surgery performed?
    • How long would my hospital stay be?
    • Will the surgery cause pain?
    • When will I be able to get back to my routine after surgery? 
    • What are the risks of cystolithotripsy surgery?

    What are some cystolithotripsy complications?

    The risk of complications after Cystolithotripsy is quite low. Some complications include blood in the urine, sperm and pain due to the catheter, and burning while urinating. If you experience any other complications, consult your urologist immediately.
