“… 1 Several treatment options based on the stones' location and size, such as endoscopic lithotripsy and open prostatolithotomy, are recommended. 5 Prostatic calculi, which protrude to the urethra causing retention, could be removed transurethrally. Endoscopic removal consists of stone extraction via the resectoscope loop and transurethral resection of the prostatic tissue with the stones.…”

Prostatic calculi are often found incidentally during a clinical and radiological examination. However, in some instances, large or multiple calculi may cause severe lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Its current significance concerning urological diseases and symptoms remains obscure. Minimal awareness regarding the disease among physicians could lead to improper assessment and treatment. In Indonesia, reports regarding prostatic calculi are still limited. We report a 50-year-old male with symptomatic multiple prostatic calculi.

In the literature review the authors present data on the history of the development of diagnostics and treatment of patients with prostatolithiasis and basic information about the most effective methods of treatment of this urological nosology. Prostatolithiasis is one of the most common diseases of the prostate in which, due to various etiological factors, stones are formed in the parenchyma of the prostate gland. Due to the lack of a single diagnostic algorithm, there is no accurate epidemiological information on the prevalence of prostate stones. According to various authors, this figure starts from 7.35 % and reaches 88.6 %. Depending on the localization, prostate stones are divided into endogenous, exogenous and mixed. Asymptomatic course, polyetiological pathogenesis, frequent recurrences of the inflammatory process in the prostate gland with the subsequent appearance of symptoms of the lower urinary tract, sclerosis of the prostate and bladder neck determine the extremely important role of this pathology. Prostatolithiasis, due to its specific clinical course, continues to be one of the most poorly studied problems in men of active working age, as well as in elderly men.

Introduction. Large prostatic calculi, which in total occupy almost the entire volume of the prostate gland, are extremely rare. A small number of clinical cases and a variety of treatment methods used in such cases determine the relevance of the study of this problem. Materials and methods. The review is based on articles published throughout history in scientific peer-reviewed journals included in the PubMed database and Elibrary.ru Scientific Electronic Library. The search was performed on the following keywords: «prostatic calculi», «prostate stones», «giant prostatic calculi», «large prostatic calculi», «giant prostatic stones», «large prostatic stones». At the first stage, 115 sources were found, of which 23 articles were included in the review. Results. A total of 20 publications were identified, which included a total of 24 cases of giant prostatic calculi. In 12 (50%) patients of this series of studies, the etiology of calculi was recognized as idiopathic, in 6 (25.0%) – urethral stricture, in 5 (20.8%) – neurogenic bladder, in 1 (4.2%) – eunuchoidism. In 9 (37.5%) patients, prostatic calculi were removed using an open operation: in 6 cases – using transvesical access as in adenomectomy, in 2 cases – using retropubic access as in adenomectomy, in 1 case – using radical nerve-sparing retropubic prostatectomy). In 15 (62.5%) patients, prostatic calculi were removed using endoscopic methods: in 7 cases, transurethral lithotripsy was performed without transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), in 3 cases – transurethral lithotripsy with preliminary TURP, in 4 cases – TURP followed by extraction of prostatic calculi without crushing them, and in 1 case – in situ lithotripsy by cystotomy. Conclusions. Giant prostatic calculi are extremely rare and mostly secondary. For their removal, both open and endoscopic can be used equally successfully. The small number of works in this area necessitates further research.
