Bladder stones are a condition where hard mineral deposits form in the bladder due to urine that is not fully expelled or remains stagnant for too long. This condition can cause various symptoms such as pain during urination, frequent urge to urinate with incomplete emptying, cloudy or bloody urine, and lower abdominal pain. If not treated properly, bladder stones may lead to complications such as recurrent urinary tract infections, chronic bladder irritation, and urinary obstruction that can affect kidney function.
For those living in Karawang and seeking treatment for bladder stones, dr. Muhammad Baihaqy Ibnu Hakim, Sp.U., FICS at Mandaya Karawang Hospital can be a recommended option. He is a urology specialist who performs vesicolithotripsy, a modern method to break down bladder stones without open surgery.

Understanding Vesicolithotripsy: Non-Surgical Bladder Stone Treatment at Mandaya Karawang Hospital
Vesicolithotripsy is a medical procedure used to break down bladder stones using a specialized endoscopic instrument inserted through the urinary tract, eliminating the need for abdominal incisions. During the procedure, the stone is fragmented into smaller pieces using laser energy or other lithotripsy devices, and these fragments are then gradually removed through the urinary tract.
According to dr. M. Baihaqy Ibnu Hakim, Sp.U., FICS, this method offers several advantages compared to conventional surgery, including:
- Minimally invasive – No abdominal incision is required as it utilizes the body’s natural pathways
- Faster recovery – Patients can generally go home the next day after the procedure
- Short procedure time – Typically takes around 30–60 minutes
- Lower risk of complications – Minimal risk of bleeding and infection
- Quicker return to daily activities – Suitable for patients who wish to resume normal routines promptly
Vesicolithotripsy is generally recommended for patients with medium to large bladder stones, especially when symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, frequent urination, or difficulty urinating are present. It is also an option when the stone cannot pass naturally through urine.
