Abstract:
Unlike other cavitating prostatic surgeries, prostatic urethral lift (PUL) has the advantage of being noninvasive and having fewer complications. In addition, PUL can be performed under local anesthesia and is can be performed on patients with various comorbidities. However, serious complications have been reported in some patients, so caution is required. We describe a Case of a bladder stone as a complication after PUL surgery. To our knowledge, large bladder stone following prostatic urethral lift (PUL) is a unique complication not previously described in the literature.
