ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Prostatic urethral lift (PUL) therapy is an alternative to minimally invasive and other surgeries in younger patients who want to preserve their sexual and ejaculatory functions, and in elderly male patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia who cannot be anesthetized because of the risk of anesthesia. The procedure can be performed as an outpatient and without anesthesia, and complications are few and temporary. In long-term follow-up, encrustations that require retreatment are rarely seen. CASESUMMARY:
In our case, a 62-year-old prostate patient who had a PUL operation 8 years ago and had a stone on the PUL material near the bladder neck was treated. The patient's stone was removed by endoscopic cystolithotripsy using pneumatic fragmentation. Bipolar transurethral resection of the prostate was applied to the patient in the same session. After the patient's 7-year follow-up, the patient's complaints relapsed, and cystoscopy was performed again. In cystoscopy, stone formation adjacent to the wall was observed at the junction of the bladder neck to the left lateral wall. The stone was fragmented with a pneumatic lithotripter.CONCLUSION:
Placing clips too close to bladder neck in the PUL procedure may result in clip migration.
