Popis: Abstract Background The Mitrofanoff (appendicovesicostomy) procedure is a contraindicated urinary modification that maintains urinary continence by forming a flap-valve mechanism at the site of anastomosis between the appendage and bladder wall, which is used as a guide for urinary drainage. This technique has been used by intermittent self-catheterization patients who have difficulty voiding from the native urethra or in cases where voiding from the abdominal wall would improve quality of life. However, the risk of stone formation is high due to intermittent urinary catheterization using the Mitrofanoff conduit urethrostomy as a conduit. Case presentation The patient was a 22-year-old Asian-Japanese woman. At 6 years of age, she underwent bilateral vesicoureteral reflux surgery, Mitrofanoff urethrostomy using the appendix, abdominal wall plication, and vaginoplasty using the ileum. During follow-up, ultrasound performed due to persistent pain during urinary drainage revealed a 26 mm bladder stone. We performed ureteroscopic lithotripsy 6Fr using ureteral access sheath and made lithotripsy using Ho: YAG laser, then successfully removed the target stone. Conclusions We report a case of transurethral laser lithotripsy using the Mitrofanoff urethral conduit for bladder stones. Using with ureteral access sheath made lithotripsy and retrieved ureteral stone more effective.
