Received: November 2019; Accepted: December 2019; Published: January 1, 2020. Citation: Ali Ahmed Salem Hatroom. Bladder stone disease in children: clinical study in Aden, Yemen. World Family Medicine. 2020; 18(1): 150-155. DOI: 10.5742MEWFM.2020.9373

Abstract

Background:
Bladder stones in children continue to be a serious public health problem in the Middle East.

The aim was to determine the patients’characteristics and some aspects of clinicalfindings in the affected children.


Materials and method:
This was a retrospective study of all children with bladder stones seen and treated at Alsaidi private hospital in Aden, during the period January 2016 to December 2017.

Results: A total of 62 children were diagnosed with bladder stone and (83.9%) were males and (16.1%) females. Their age ranged between 1 to 12 years. The age group 1 to 6 years represented the highest percentage of patients (53.2%)

Most patients were from rural areas (69.4%). The ratio male to female was 5.2:1 and the mean age of all patients was 6.3±3.5 years (age range between 1 to 12 years). The mean size of stones was 14.8±3.9 mm (stone size range 8 – 20 mm).

The symptoms were dysuria (40.3%), urine retention (32.3%), and hematuria (27.4%). Urinary tract infection was in (24.2%) patients. The treatment procedures were (53.2%) managed by cystolitholapaxy followed by cystolithotomy (46.8%).

The relationship between bladder stone size groups and the treatment procedures was statistically significant (p = 0.000).

Conclusion: The majority of affected children were males and were from rural areas. Also, the majority were less than 6 years old. The treatment procedures were cystolitholapaxy followed by cystolithotomy.

Key words: Bladder stone, children, Aden, Yemen
