Bladder Stones

The EAU 2026 bladder stone pathway — a distinct entity from upper-tract stones. Classify the stone as primary/endemic, secondary or migratory (bladder outlet obstruction is behind 45–79% of adult cases), diagnose it with ultrasound first-line then cystoscopy or CT, then diagnose the CAUSE, treat the stone endoscopically (transurethral → percutaneous → open, with a separate children's lane), and close by eliminating the cause so it does not recur. Switch between the visual Pathway map and the phase-by-phase Explorer.
