Historical and modern methods of treatment of patients with bladder stones with benign prostatic hyperplasia

Abstract

In this review of literature the authors provide information on the history of the development of treatment of patients with cystolithiasis with benign prostatic hyperplasia (prostate adenoma), as well as basic information regarding the most common and effective methods of treating this nosology. Cystolithiasis is one of the forms of manifestation of urolithiasis, characterized by the presence of stones in the bladder. Almost 70 % of this pathology occurs in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia. Medical, economic and social significance is that the majority of patients from this group are of active, working age. Historical data show that this pathology has always been a serious problem requiring surgical intervention and often leading to the patient's disability. In turn, this pathology gave a serious impetus to the development of surgery and urology in particular. Only in the twentieth century it was possible to achieve a significant result in the treatment of this disease due to the improvement in the quality of nutrition, the beginning of the use of antibacterial therapy and the development of endourology.
