Abstract

Small prostate stones are often found incidentally during clinical and radiological examination. Large stones, however, also may develop, replacing completely the prostate tissue and causing various symptoms. Such a large stones are commonly formed due to chronic urine reflux. There are 20 publications in the literature devoted to the patients with giant prostate stones. Open as well as endoscopic procedures can be performed. In our clinical case both approaches were done simultaneously. Such tactic was chosen in order to carry out a single-stage intervention, immediately solving two problems, i.e., urethral stricture and a giant prostate stone.
