Article Synopsis
- Recent studies suggest that surgical intervention for benign prostatic obstruction (BPO) may not be necessary during bladder stone removal in men, prompting an evaluation of this approach.
- A study analyzed 63 males who underwent bladder stone removal without simultaneous BPO surgery from 2017 to 2024, tracking outcomes such as future BPO surgery and complications.
- The findings indicated a high rate of BPO surgery-free survival (90% at 1 year, 78% at 3 and 5 years), with larger prostate volumes and higher post-void residual being significant predictors for needing future BPO surgery, highlighting the importance of careful patient selection.

In this retrospective cohort study, we aim to determine the utility of cystoscopy in patients with and without high-risk features for rUTI.
