title: [Bladder stone formation following radical retropubic prostatectomy: a report of 2 cases].
abstract: We report 2 cases of bladder stone formation after radical retropubic prostatectomy (RPP). Case 1 is a 68-year-old man who complained of macrohematuria at the time of 10 months after RRP. Case 2 is a 62- year-old man who complained of urethralgia at 9 months after RRP. In both cases, bladder stones were diagnosed after cystoscopic examination and then removed by transurethral lithotripsy. They had no history of urinary tract stone formation. The performance of RRP is considered one of the main causes of their bladder stone formation.
