Goodwin-Belta-Sorrentino Operation

Goodwin - Belt - Sorrentino Operation (GBS Operation) is a surgical procedure that is used to treat urolithiasis in patients suffering from stones in the urinary tract. The operation was developed in the 1970s by American urologist Walter Goodwine, Italian urologist Massimo Sorrentino and American urologist Edward Belt.

The essence of the operation is to create a new path for the outflow of urine from the kidney, bypassing the stone located in the ureter. To do this, an incision is made in the abdominal cavity, then the ureter is expanded and a new channel is created that connects the kidney to the sigmoid colon. The new channel is called the ureterosigmoid and allows urine to flow out of the kidney without obstruction.

The operation is performed under general anesthesia and lasts about 2-3 hours. After the operation, the patient remains in the hospital for 3 to 7 days, then can be discharged home.

GBS surgery is highly effective and has a low risk of complications, making it one of the most effective methods of treating urolithiasis. However, like any other surgical procedure, it can have its own risks and complications, so before the operation is carried out, it is necessary to carefully evaluate the patient and discuss all possible risks and benefits.

Goodwin-Belta-Sorrentino operations refer to procedures performed by urologists to treat urolithiasis. This method involves removing the stone from the urinary tract using a special instrument called a urethrum.
