Who is this surgery for?
- Presence of symptomatic bladder stones causing pain, frequent urination, or blood in the urine (hematuria).
- Stones that are too large to pass spontaneously through the urethra.
- Bladder outlet obstruction, often due to an enlarged prostate (BPH), which leads to stone formation.
- Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) associated with bladder stones.
- Urinary retention or incomplete bladder emptying caused by a stone.
- Failure of conservative management, such as increased fluid intake or medication.
- Stones causing damage to the bladder lining or blocking the ureters.
How to prepare
- Complete a thorough medical evaluation, including a physical exam and review of medical history.
- Undergo diagnostic tests such as a urinalysis, urine culture, and imaging (X-ray, ultrasound, or CT scan) to confirm the stone's size and location.
- Discuss all current medications with the doctor; you may need to stop blood thinners (e.g., aspirin, warfarin) several days before.
- Fast (no food or drink) for 6-12 hours before the procedure if general anesthesia is planned.
- Arrange for someone to drive you home after the procedure, as you will not be able to drive.
- Inform the doctor of any allergies, especially to anesthesia, iodine, or contrast dye.
- You may be given prophylactic antibiotics before the procedure to prevent infection.
Risks & possible complications
- Bleeding from the bladder wall during or after the procedure.
- Infection of the urinary tract (UTI) or bladder.
- Perforation or injury to the bladder wall or urethra.
- Difficulty urinating or urinary retention after the procedure, sometimes requiring a temporary catheter.
- Incomplete stone removal, potentially necessitating a repeat procedure.
- Reaction to anesthesia, such as nausea, vomiting, or respiratory issues.
- Formation of scar tissue (stricture) in the urethra over time.
- Recurrence of stones if the underlying cause (e.g., BPH) is not treated.
Recovery & hospital stay
- You will be monitored in a recovery area until the anesthesia wears off.
- Drink plenty of water (2-3 liters daily) to flush the bladder and help pass any remaining stone fragments.
- Expect some burning sensation, blood-tinged urine, and increased urinary frequency for a few days.
- A temporary urinary catheter may be left in place for a short period if there is swelling.
- Take prescribed pain relievers and antibiotics as directed to manage discomfort and prevent infection.
- Avoid strenuous activities, heavy lifting, and driving for at least 3-5 days or as advised by your urologist.
- Attend all follow-up appointments to ensure complete healing and address the underlying cause of stone formation.

My dad was admitted to MGM...
My dad was admitted to MGM with a bad fever and we were all worried. Dr. Ramya Shri was the one who really talked to us. She didn't just give medical updates; she explained things in a way we could understand, told us what to watch for at home, and actually listened to our concerns. It made a stressful time much easier to handle.
