All operations were completed successfully, the simple bladder stone lithotripsy consume 30~90 min, an average of 55min. No residual stones, bladder perforation, severe bleeding happened, transurethral operation consume more time, after the removal of indwelling catheter, patients who accepted transurethral operations had urethra discomfort, the operation time decided the severity of discomfort.
