Abstract :
An 83-year-old man with benign prostatic hyperplasia and several comorbid conditions presented with irremovable urethral Foley
catheter. Plain ab-
dominal X-ray revealed a bladder full of stones. The patient had bilateral hydronephrosis and elevated serum Creatinine level.
Open vesicolithotomy was
done and more than 720 stones in various shapes and sizes was removed. After removal of stone, Creatinine gradually decreased f
rom 4.9 to 1.8 mg/dl
and most of lower urinary tract symptoms were alleviated in the follow-up.
