A giant bladder stone: managed with osteotome.
An unusual case of bladder stone is presented. The size of stone and the operation technique were exceptional in the urologic literature. The stone could be palpated on physical examination. The stone was removed by fragmentation with osteotome because of adherence of the stone to the bladder wall. The stone weighed 570 g.
