For the treatment of bladder stones, a treatment plan should be developed based on the specific size of the stones. For smaller stones with a diameter of less than 1.5 centimeters, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy can be used. After the treatment, patients should go home, drink plenty of water, and urinate frequently to help expel the stones from the bladder. For larger bladder stones, surgical treatment is required. Currently, surgeries are minimally invasive; there are no incisions on the abdomen. The procedure mainly involves inserting a ureteroscope through the urethra, then locating and breaking the stones using a holmium laser and flushing them out of the body.
