Abstract
Introduction- presenting our experience of comparison of two endoscopic treatments for bladder stones.
Material and Methods - Study includes 45 patients of vesical calculi, treated in our hospital between June 2010 to December 2017, randomly assigned in two groups group 1- transurethral removal using nephroscope and group 2 -percutaneous suprapubic removal using nephroscope.
Results- Significant difference was observed in operating time group 1 (32.1+8.5 mins) and group 2 (46+7.3), statistically difference was seen in the post operative stay of patient which was higher in group 2, complete clearance was seen in both groups, while group 1 had maximum number of urethral entries in comparison to supra pubic group
Conclusion -Transurethral vesical stone treatment using nephroscope is effective route of treatment of large vesical stones without increasing morbidity and without giving a supra pubic scar.
