Thuan My ITO Dong Nai Hospital successfully performed surgery on a rare case of bladder stones

Recently, Thuan My ITO Dong Nai Hospital successfully treated a 72-year-old male patient with a 'huge' bladder stone measuring 11cm x 8cm - a rare case ever seen at the hospital.

Dr. Nguyen Van Truyen and his team performed a combined surgical method: Endoscopy through the urethra to treat prostate enlargement and bladder neck stenosis, and minimal open surgery to remove large stones.

Dr. Nguyen Van Truyen said: The leading cause of large bladder stones is obstruction of the lower urinary tract, causing lower urinary tract symptoms due to benign prostatic hyperplasia in older men, bladder neck stenosis, urethral stenosis, bladder tumors, etc. Therefore, accurately determining the cause for thorough treatment is an important factor in helping patients avoid the risk of stone recurrence. Bladder stones not only cause discomfort in daily life but also lead to dangerous complications such as recurrent cystitis, hydronephrosis, and kidney failure.

Thuan My ITO Dong Nai Hospital with a team of experienced doctors and modern equipment is a reliable address for the treatment of urinary diseases. Through this, doctors recommend that people should have regular check-ups to detect and promptly treat dangerous diseases.
