Removing bladder stones
Bladder stones – mineral deposits from the high concentration of urine in the bladder – can be removed through a procedure called cystolitholapaxy. This procedure uses a fiber-optic tube with an optical lens to visualize the stone and break it into several pieces. The pieces are then flushed from the bladder.
