Laser lithotripsy in management of large bladder calculi following primary repair of bladder exstrophy: A case report
Journal Title: Pediatric Urology Case Reports - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
A 4-year-old girl was admitted with the complaint of pain in lower abdomen and dysuria. She had exstrophy repair at 6th month of life. Radiographic investigations revealed a large bladder calculus. An innovative treatment in the form of laser lithotripsy was carried out to prevent damaging an already highly compromised urinary bladder with an open surgery.
