“…Open cystolithotomy is the procedure of choice to remove large vesical calculus due to better surgical view and possibility of adherences in vesical wall. Endoscopic surgery is preferred for small or moderate calculi and can be combined with surgical procedures for bladder outlet obstruction [1,3,[7][8][9]. Our patient was managed with supra-and infra-umbilical median incision due to extreme large vesical calculus of 17.0 × 13.0 × 16.0 cm and also renal exclusion due to staghorn calculus.…”

“…Etiology is related with urinary retention, bladder obstruction and infection, neurogenic bladder, and prolonged catheterization. Most cases of vesical calculus are composed of triple phosphate, calcium carbonate, and calcium oxalate, although this analysis was not possible in our case once this service was currently unavailable [1][2][3]7].…”

“…Once the vesical calculus exceeds 100 g by weight, it is termed as giant vesical calculus. [ 1 ] In 1953, Arthure reported the single largest vesical calculus in the world, weighing 6294 g.[ 2 ] In recent years, a single calculus weighing 1600 g was reported in Nigeria. [ 3 ] We report our patient with a single giant vesical calculus size of 1334 g. Giant vesical calculi present with no symptoms or with minimal urinary symptoms, which are usually well tolerated.…”

“…[1,2,3] They are normally associated with urinary stasis as it was the case of the index patientwho was on admission for a long time with supra-pubic cauterization following trauma sustained in a Road Traffic Injury (RTI). This is the major predisposing factor that may have prompted several episodes of postvoid residual urine in the patient and caused stasis which led to crystal nucleation and accretion [4,5]. Bladder stones comprise 5% of urinary tract stones [6].…”

“…Very few number of cases of giant and multiple calculi have been reported in literature. The largest vesical calculus reported in literature is of 6294g [4].…”
