Abstract
Bladder stones are of two varieties, primary which are not associated with Urinary Tract Infection (UTI), Bladder Outlet Obstruction (BOO) or foreign bodies and secondary bladder stones which are associated with either or all of the above-mentioned entities. We report three cases of male patients with bladder calculi without any specific history suggestive of BOO since birth. In one of them, posterior urethral valve was found to be the cause of urinary leak on post-operative day 6th after cystolithotomy. In the other two, we had performed cystoscopy before planned cystolithotomy. We recommend through this article that all boys with bladder stones should have diagnostic cystoscopy, especially where endo-urology is available, before proceeding for cystolithotomy.
