Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Bladder stones represent an important public health issue in developing nations, especially Indonesia. We report a 51-year-old female who exhibited dysuria and suprapubic pain. Clinical evaluations, imaging studies, and laboratory analyses identified three bladder stones, each the size of an egg. The patient underwent an open cystolithotomy, during which three calculi averaging 5x4 cm and weighing approximately 560 g were excised. The patient encountered no notable surgical complications and was discharged with significantly improved urine flow.
