How Transurethral Cystolithotripsy is performed
In this procedure, a cystoscope is inserted into the bladder through the urethra, and lasers or pneumatic devices are commonly used to break up the stones. The fragments are then removed using negative pressure or grasping forceps. If applicable, a urinary catheter may be left in place for drainage and to reduce irritation.

The goal is to remove the stones, reduce irritation, and relieve urinary obstruction.
