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.
