ABSTRACT
A retrospective study on urinary bladder stones among the patients seeking treatment in Okhaldunga Hospital was carried out for six calendar years from 1988 to 1994. Forty-six cases of bladder stones were identified during that period. Among them, 43 patients' records were studied (93.0%) in subsequent analysis. Ninety-seven percent were male with mean age 11.53+/-6.9 years. The number of children are significantly higher in 0-9 years of age (p<0.01). The symptoms lasted more than 2 years with the most common presenting symptoms dysuria (86.0%) and poor flow of urine (41.8%). The average hospital stay was 8.7 days. The majority of cases (78.5%) had undergone cystolithotomy without any complications. The study also showed that the majority (97.0%) of urinary bladder stone cases were successfully managed at a rural hospital like Okhaldhunga.
