Characterization of bladder lithiasis at the Arnaldo Milián hospital in Santa Clara
Abstract
Introduction: Bladder stones are the most common stones of the lower urinary tract, accounting for 5% of all stones in the genitourinary tract. These can be primary or secondary. Primary ones are those that develop in the absence of any anatomical, functional or infectious factor. Secondary stones are more common in men over 60 years of age due to the existence of a cause of lower urinary tract obstruction.
Objective: To characterize patients with bladder stones at the Arnaldo Milián Hospital in Santa Clara.
Methods: An observational, descriptive, cross-sectional investigation was carried out in the Urology Service of the Arnaldo Milián Castro Clinical Surgical University Hospital of Villa Clara, from September 2018 to October 2022. The population consisted of 183 patients, diagnosed and operated on for non-expellable bladder stones, with absence of urinary tract infection between the ages of 20 to 89 years.
Results: The age group between 60 and 69 years (29.5%), male sex (88.5%) and white skin color (85.2%) predominated. Secondary etiology was more common in 143 (78.1%) patients and 100% of patients were diagnosed with the use of Abdominal US. Endoscopic surgery was used in 59% of patients.
Conclusions: Male sex and elderly patients predominated in the research. All patients were diagnosed using abdominal ultrasound. Cases with secondary etiology of bladder stones predominated and endoscopic surgery was the most used procedure.
