PFD Week 2017-Removal Of Vaginal Calculus With Surgical Drill

Removal Of Vaginal Calculus With Surgical Drill

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses vaginal caculi, which are rare and mostly found in case reports. The stones are usually composed of urinary salt deposits and can be classified as primary or secondary. Primary vaginal caculi are formed due to urine stasis in the vagina, often in the presence of vaginal outlet obstruction or fistulas. Secondary vaginal caculi form around foreign bodies such as pessaries or intrauterine devices. Vaginal caculi can be mistakenly diagnosed as bladder stones, highlighting the importance of physical exams and imaging techniques to obtain a correct diagnosis. The video demonstrates the use of a surgical drill to safely remove a large secondary vaginal caculus, providing a minimally invasive method without the need for an episiotomy.
