Surgical management of bladder stones in neurogenic bladder

Bladder stones are common in neurological patients. As in other patients, bladder stones may reflect a voiding mode that fails to ensure complete bladder emptying, but they can also be due to more specific accidents, such as a foreign body introduced into the bladder during intermittent catheterization. Due to the frequency of this disease in neurological patients, the first step of treatment consists of correcting any vesico-sphincteric dyssynergia. Bladder stones can usually be easily removed based on a good knowledge of the management of this disease, which has become rare in the general population. This article presents the technical details and results of the various operations proposed in this setting.
