A challenging case of a multiple large stones in enterocystoplasty: a case report.

Abstract

In recent years, the utilization of enterocystoplasty for bladder function enhancement has increased, albeit accompanied by risks such as stone formation, necessitating vigilant follow-up. We report a case of a 60-year-old female with a neobladder who presented with back pain, constipation, and pelvic heaviness, revealing multiple large stones in imaging. Stone analysis showed calcium oxalate and magnesium. Enterocystolithotomy was performed to manage the condition. Enterocystoplasty, a standard treatment for bladder cancer, can lead to stone formation due to factors like urinary stasis and infections. Giant stones are rare but require prompt treatment, often involving neocystolithotomy. Controlling risk factors and selecting appropriate treatment based on stone size and surgical expertise are key to improving patient outcomes.
