“…8 Bladder outlet obstruction (BOO), recurrent urinary tract infections (UTI), neurogenic bladder, and foreign bodies are the commonly mentioned causes for vesical calculi. 9 In our patient, bulbar urethral stricture was the cause for his recurrent bladder stone formation including his current episode. Furthermore, bladder stones can also form in the setting of no identi able cause in adults.…”

Background: A giant bladder stone is very rare in adults. We report a case of giant bladder stone caused by recurrent urethral stricture in a 31-year-old male patient who had a history of recurrent bladder stone episodes. Case presentation: we present a case of a 31-year-old male patient, who presented with irritative lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Past surgical history was remarkable for urethral injury due to road traffic accident (RTA) for which urethroplasty was done. A non-contrast-enhanced CT scan and cystoscopy were used for the diagnosis. Open cystolithotomy was performed and a 110g weighing bladder stone was extracted. He was discharged improved. A urine leak from the cystotomy site due to transurethral foley catheter malfunction was noted on first follow-up visit. On the second follow-up visit, the urine leak ceased and the foley catheter was removed. The patient reported improvement of the lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), on subsequent follow-up visits. Conclusion: This case represents the second-largest bladder stone reported in Ethiopia. Another peculiarity is the recurrent bladder stone following recurrent urethral stricture after urethroplasty in our case.

“…Some scholars used open surgeries [24] for the treatment of bladder calculus with a long diameter >5 cm or multiple calculi [25][26][27][28][29]. Our experience is that percutaneous holmium laser lithotripsy for the treatment of bladder calculi is also suitable for such cases.…”

Objective: The aim was to summarize the experience of percutaneous holmium laser lithotripsy in the treatment of bladder calculi with lower urinary tract obstruction or pelvic joint disease in our hospital, explore its efficacy and safety, and improve the minimally invasive surgical technique for bladder calculi. Methods: The clinical data of 61 patients with bladder calculi combined with lower urinary tract obstructive diseases, including urethral stricture, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and bladder neck contracture or pelvic joint diseases in our hospital from 2017 to 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients with bladder stones measuring 1.5–9 cm were placed in supine or lithotomy position. B-scan was conducted to locate the puncture above the pubic symphysis, establishing a 16–30 Fr bladder channel, and Lumenis holmium laser lithotripsy was subsequently performed through a Li Xun Nephroscope. The crushed stones were flushed out through the percutaneous bladder channel or taken out with foreign body forceps. After surgery, the cystostomy tube was indwelled for 3 days. Results: All the 61 cases were operated successfully with an average lithotripsy time of 25 min, and there was no conversion to open surgery. Postoperative reexamination showed neither residual calculi nor complications such as severe infection, massive hemorrhage, and intestinal injury. Conclusion: Percutaneous holmium laser lithotripsy is an improved minimally invasive surgical technique for the treatment of bladder calculi with the advantages of clear surgical field, high stone removal efficiency, less trauma, low-pressure bladder perfusion, and low incidence of accessory injury and infection. For patients with lower urinary tract obstructive disease resulting in obstruction of transurethral surgery and patients with pelvic joint disease resulting in difficult lithotomy position placement, this procedure is more advantageous than transurethral surgery. It is also suitable for bladder calculus with a long diameter >5 cm or multiple calculi.
