At netcare Linksfield Hospital, Cystolitholapaxy is performed using specialized endourological techniques and comprehensive evaluation of the urinary tract. Established in 1991, this COHSASA accredited hospital in Johannesburg, South Africa has 319 beds and offers advanced urology, endoscopy, urinary stone treatment, and minimally invasive surgical services.

Cystolitholapaxy may be considered for patients with bladder stones that cause urinary symptoms, recurrent infections, obstruction, or other complications. Before treatment, the urologist may use urine testing, ultrasound, X-ray, CT imaging, or cystoscopy to assess the number, size, and location of the stones. During the procedure, a cystoscope is introduced through the urethra and the stones are fragmented using an appropriate device before the pieces are removed.
