VESICAL LITHIASIS: OPEN SURGERY VERSUS CYSTOLITHOTRIPSY
VERSUS EXTRACORPOREAL SHOCK WAVE THERAPY
\VIPAN BHATIA* avo CHANDRA SHEKHAR BIYANI
‘AnsTRACT
We compare the different methods of treating vescal calculi to etablsh the most effective and
safe modality. Of 128 patients with bladder ealeal 5 underwent an open operation, 80 underwent
‘chanical cystolithotrpsy and 43 underwent extracorporeal shock wave therapy. Severe compl
ations included hematuria, bladder perforation and mucosal injury the mechanical cyto
lithotripey group. We find extracorporeal hock wave therapy to be a simple
‘modality for the management of vescal ithisis.
