Mazlan MR, Azmi B, Yaacob R. A successful extraction of difficult giant bladder stone: A case report. J Case Rep Images Surg 2022;8(1):11–15.ABSTRACT
Lately, the incidence of giant bladder stones has significantly declined. Severe acute kidney injury caused by bladder stones is rare. Open cystolithotomy would usually be the mode of treatment for such cases. However, few data reported on the technique used to deliver complicated giant bladder stones. We report such presentation and the exceptional technique of delivering a giant bladder stone weighing 1 kg in a 30-year-old man in Hospital Sultan Abdul Halim, Sungai Petani, Kedah. This technique involves using a chisel and a hammer.
Keywords: Acute kidney injury, Chisel, Giant bladder stone, Open cystolithotomy
