Abstract
- We describe a rare instance of enormous, calcified stone development in an enlarged urinary bladder. The patient was a 24-year-old female suffering from the development of vesical calculus as a result of complicated bladder augmentation. She had a small bladder capacity and had undergone augmentation ileocystoplasty in childhood. The abdomen was examined using X-ray and computerized tomography, which revealed a significantly huge urinary bladder stone. An open cystolithotomy was performed and a giant vesicle calculus was extracted along with another small stone. Although stone development is a typical side effect following augmented bladder, it may be avoided with frequent bladder irrigation and attentive aftercare.<br />Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist.<br /> (Copyright © 2024, Aljarbou et al.)
