Cystolitholapaxy (Bladder Stone Removal Surgery)
Cystolitholapaxy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to remove bladder stones by breaking them into smaller pieces and removing them from the bladder. The procedure is performed using an endoscopic instrument passed through the natural urinary passage, avoiding any large surgical cuts. Cystolitholapaxy is a safe and effective treatment that provides quick relief from bladder stone–related urinary symptoms and improves overall bladder function.

Bladder Stone Removal Surgery Using Cystolitholapaxy
Cystolitholapaxy allows direct visualization and removal of bladder stones using a cystoscope and stone-breaking instruments or energy sources. Stones are fragmented into small pieces and removed safely from the bladder. This approach avoids open surgery and significantly reduces postoperative discomfort, hospital stay, and recovery time while ensuring effective stone clearance.
How Cystolitholapaxy Is Performed
Cystolitholapaxy is performed under anesthesia using advanced endoscopic equipment.
Benefits of Cystolitholapaxy
Cystolitholapaxy offers a safe and effective solution for bladder stone removal.
Who Should Consider Cystolitholapaxy?
Cystolitholapaxy is recommended for patients with bladder stones causing symptoms such as frequent urination, pain during urination, blood in urine, difficulty emptying the bladder, or recurrent urinary infections. It is commonly advised for stones associated with prostate enlargement or bladder outlet obstruction.
Is Cystolitholapaxy a Safe Procedure?
Cystolitholapaxy is a well-established and safe procedure when performed by experienced urologists. Modern endoscopic techniques and instruments minimize complications and ensure effective stone removal with excellent outcomes.
Success Rate of Cystolitholapaxy
Cystolitholapaxy has a high success rate, with most patients achieving complete bladder stone removal in a single procedure, especially when the underlying cause of stone formation is addressed.
Preparation Before Cystolitholapaxy
Before surgery, patients undergo imaging tests, blood tests, and urine examination. Certain medications, such as blood thinners, may need to be temporarily stopped. Proper preparation ensures safe anesthesia and smooth surgical recovery.
Hospital Stay After Cystolitholapaxy
Cystolitholapaxy is usually performed as a day-care or short-stay procedure. Most patients are discharged within 24 hours after surgery, depending on recovery and overall health.
Recovery After Cystolitholapaxy
Recovery after cystolitholapaxy is generally quick. Most patients can resume normal daily activities within a few days. Mild urinary discomfort or temporary blood in urine may occur and usually resolves on its own.
Pain Management After Cystolitholapaxy
Postoperative pain is usually mild and managed with oral pain medications. Symptoms improve rapidly once the bladder stone is completely removed.
Risks and Complications of Cystolitholapaxy
Cystolitholapaxy has a low complication rate. Possible risks include mild bleeding, infection, temporary urinary discomfort, or irritation of the bladder lining. Serious complications are rare.
Life After Cystolitholapaxy Treatment
