PCCL Surgery for Bladder Stones in Vijayawada
Expert pccl guidance by Dr. D. Sreedhar at Shreedhar Kidney Care Center, Vijayawada.
PCCL Surgery for Bladder Stones in Vijayawada is an important service page for patients in Vijayawada who need reliable, medically responsible urology guidance. Bladder stones are hard mineral deposits inside the bladder. They may form when urine remains in the bladder due to prostate enlargement, urethral stricture, nerve-related bladder problems or recurrent infection. PCCL and cystolitholapaxy are procedures used to break and remove bladder stones. At Shreedhar Kidney Care Center, patients can consult Dr. D. Sreedhar, MBBS, MS, M.Ch (Urology), FMAS (SGH Singapore), for evaluation and treatment planning based on symptoms, examination and test results rather than guesswork or repeated self-medication.
Treatment is planned based on the underlying cause of the bladder stones. If an enlarged prostate is contributing to bladder outlet obstruction, TURP surgery may also be recommended to help improve urine flow and reduce the risk of recurrent bladder stones.
