Operаtive Repоrt PREOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS: Multiple blаdder stоnes PROCEDURE: Cystоscopy for removаl of stones INDICATIONS: This 58-year-old patient was found to have several bladder stones. He was here today for removal of those stones. The patient was voiding well currently. Informed consent was signed, and risks and benefits were explained and understood by the patient prior to the procedure. He agreed to proceed. DESCRIPTION OF PROCEDURE: The patient was taken to the cystoscopy suite and placed in the dorsal lithotomy position after adequate induction of general anesthesia. Levofloxacin 500 mg was given intravenously, preoperatively. The perineum and genitalia were prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion. A 21-French cystourethroscope was inserted into the urethra, and the prostate was visualized. He did have some lateral lobe hyperplasia of the prostate, but otherwise no significant pathology in the urethra. The bladder was then entered and drained. Multiple bladder stones were seen, and these were all less than 0.5 cm apiece. The bladder stones were evacuated using cystoscope and irrigation with the Ellik evacuator. All stones were removed without difficulty. After the bladder was drained and all the stones were removed, the patient was awakened. He returned to the recovery room in satisfactory condition.
