About this study

Bladder stones larger than 2 cm are commonly treated by endoscopic fragmentation through the urethra. During transurethral cystolithotripsy for large stones, the procedure may be prolonged because of poor visibility, stone dust, bladder overdistension, and repeated need for irrigation or evacuation. This randomized controlled trial will compare standal Holmium:YAG laser cystolithotripsy using a 17 Fr cystoscope sheath with the same procedure plus an adjunctive 8 Fr suprapubic catheter used only for bladder drainage during the operation. The suprapubic catheter will not be used for stone fragmentation or stone extraction. The main outcome will be total operative time. Secondary outcomes will include fragmentation and clearance time, laser activation time, total laser energy, irrigation volume, visibility-related interruptions, stone-free rate at 30 days, complications, catheter duration, postoperative pain, and hospital stay.
