title: Pneumatic lithotripter application for giant bladder stone in a patient with augmentation cystoplasty.
abstract: An 18-year-old patient with repaired bladder exstrophy developed a 550-g stone burden in his augmented bladder. The stones were removed percutaneously with the aid of a pneumatic lithotripter. This should be considered the method of choice in these difficult cases.
