Physical examination revealed a palpable suprapubic mass with no obvious flank masses. Ultrasonography of the abdomen and pelvis revealed right-sided gross hydroureteronephrosis and thinning of renal parenchyma along with a hyperechoic structure with posterior acoustic shadowing was noted in the region of the urinary bladder, suggesting a vesical calculus. Plain CT of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder (KUB) confirmed right nephrolithiasis in lower poly calyx and a large vesical calculus (10.6 cm \u00d7 8.6 cm x8.8 cm, +1110 HU). Open cystolithotomy with a right-sided double-J \u201cDJ\u201d stent insertion was performed.

They typically develop over several years and present with symptoms like severe dysuria, urgency, frequency, supra-pubic pain, and hematuria. Diagnosis is made by cystoscopy, ultrasonography and CT-KUB. Treatment includes intracorporeal cystolithotripsy using a laser, ultrasonic lithotripter, or pneumatic lithotripter, depending on availability. Endourologic procedures have been safer and more cost-effective for bladder stones, however, open removal is the treatment of choice for giant bladder stones.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Open cystolithotomy can be performed to remove giant bladder stone with near 100 % stone removal rate.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Highlights<\/jats:title>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2024.110174","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,14]],"date-time":"2024-08-14T03:00:03Z","timestamp":1723604403000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Giant urinary bladder stone: A rare case report"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"122","author":[{"given":"Ganesh Bhakta","family":"Acharya","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Manipal College of Medical Sciences, Pokhara, Nepal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Suman","family":"Baral","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Mediplus Hospital and Trauma Center, Pokhara, Nepal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sunil Man","family":"Bijukchhe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Gandaki Medical College, Pokhara, Nepal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sushil","family":"Mishra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Manipal College of Medical Sciences, Pokhara, Nepal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Krishna","family":"Bhusal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine, Lumbini Medical College, Palpa, Nepal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shasi","family":"Poudel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine, Fewacity Hospital, Pokhara, Nepal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"issue":"2","key":"R1-124-20260325","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"333","DOI":"10.1016\/S0094-0143(05)70262-7","article-title":"The vesical calculus","volume":"27","author":"Schwartz,","year":"2000","journal-title":"Urol.
