Dr. Abhiyutthan Singh Jadaon, Dr. Mukesh C Arya

Abstract :

Giant ureteral calculus is a rare disease. It remains one of the few special situations where classical treatment of ureterolithotomy is done. We present a case of a 33-year-old female who presented with left flank pain radiating to groin. Investigations revealed two giant ureteral stones measuring 8 cm and 2cm. She was submitted to open surgery. There were no postoperative complications and the patient was discharged from hospital after 4 days. An IVU done 6 months after intervention showed adequate drainage of contrast in bilateral kidneys. This technical procedure could be performed by means of laparoscopy and be even less aggressive.
