Following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines, PubMed, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were systematically searched for studies published up to September 18, 2025, Studies reporting outcomes of stone removal with or without concurrent outlet surgery in patients with bladder stones and BPO were included. Outcomes included stone-free rate (SFR), recurrence, voiding parameters (IPSS, Qmax, PVR), complications, and reintervention.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Fifteen studies (six comparative) met criteria. Both approaches achieved high SFRs (&gt;\u200990%). Recurrence was lower after combined procedures (\u2264\u20095%) versus isolated stone removal (10\u201325%), diverging beyond 2\u20133 years; however, most men receiving stone removal alone did not require subsequent outlet surgery. Combined procedures produced greater LUTS improvement, particularly with prostate volumes\u2009&gt;\u2009100 mL or PVR\u2009&gt;\u200990 mL. Early morbidity was higher with simultaneous surgery. No study incorporated urodynamic testing, limiting physiologic interpretation. Key functional domains (ejaculatory function, continence, patient-reported outcomes) and minimally invasive surgical therapies were rarely evaluated.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Available evidence does not support routine simultaneous outlet surgery for all men with bladder stones.
