Study design: Case Report
Abstract: Currently, prostate calculi are a common disease that is often encountered by urologists in their daily practice. In most cases, urologists do not attach clinical importance to prostate stones, detecting them accidentally during ultrasound examination against the background of pathologies such as prostatic hyperplasia, chronic prostatitis or vesiculitis. Performing surgical intervention in young patients is a complex task, the consequences of which can have a negative impact on the reproductive function of men. In the medical literature, only isolated cases of operations for prostate stones are described. This article presents a clinical case of surgical treatment of a patient who was found to have multiple large calculi of the prostate gland. Keywords: Transurethral laser lithotripsy, prostate stones, benign prostatic hyperplasia, chronic prostatitis.
