Recently, the Department of Urology of People’s Hospital successfully cured a patient with large bladder stones by using minimally invasive endolithotripsy, and the patient has been discharged from the hospital. The patient was 28 years old, male, who used to have discomfort such as dripping urine and painful urination, and was admitted to the ENT department of our hospital for “acute otitis media”. “The patient was referred for treatment. Li Xianwen, Department of Urology, People’s Hospital Generally speaking, bladder stones mostly require surgical treatment. For stone diameter Q2.5cm most of them can be achieved by various minimally invasive surgeries for lithotripsy and stone extraction, while for R4cm most of them are recommended to be treated by open surgery for stone extraction. The patient was very afraid of surgery and strongly wanted to receive minimally invasive lithotripsy treatment. Director Li Xianwenke paid full attention to the patient’s request. In view of the current minimally invasive urological technology has been greatly improved, and the treatment purpose can be achieved with minimally invasive means with great certainty. During the operation, Director Li first used a pneumatic ballistic rod to break the bladder stone into several small stones, and then replaced the bladder with a powerful lithotripter to successfully clamp the stone and remove it. Due to the large size of this bladder stone, the minimally invasive surgery took a relatively long time, which was a test of the surgeon in charge’s energy and body. Although, we paid more for this, it is still gratifying to think that our efforts reduced the pain for the patient, eliminated the nuisance of postoperative incision scar, and reduced the hospital stay and cost.
At present, the urology department of the hospital, through the joint efforts and development of all of us, has significantly improved both in the number of patients and in the types of diseases, and the technical means of treatment and the level of service have been steadily improved. In the process of creating JCI in Shekou Hospital, the Department of Urology has reasons to do better!
