Vesical Calculi and Female Pelvic Organ Prolapse: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Curēus 2023 September
This study presents a case report and reviews the literature on the simultaneous occurrence of advanced uterovaginal prolapse and urolithiasis, aiming to provide a comprehensive analysis of the reported cases. A thorough search was conducted in PubMed and Google Scholar; the search strategy included specific keywords and terms related to both conditions aiming to identify relevant case reports describing the association between advanced uterovaginal prolapse and urolithiasis; a total of 22 case reports were found in English literature. We present a case report of a 56-year-old woman, para 4, presenting with complaints of vaginal bulge and urinary symptoms. Upon examination, a complete procidentia with superficial ulceration was observed. During the reduction of the uterus, multiple small stones were noted coming through the urethral meatus. The patient underwent a vaginal hysterectomy, and the bladder stone was successfully extracted through vaginal cystotomy without complications. Our case report highlights the association between vesical calculi and female high-grade pelvic organ prolapse. Managing bladder stones in the context of pelvic organ prolapse can be challenging and vary significantly, reflecting the individual patient characteristics and surgeon preferences. The lack of standardized guidelines for managing bladder stones in the presence of pelvic organ prolapse highlights the need for further research.
