Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Nephrology

Background:

  • Giant ureteral stones are rare and can cause significant complications.
  • Hydronephrosis due to ureteral obstruction requires timely intervention.

Observation:

  • A 55-year-old female presented with right flank pain.
  • Imaging revealed a large right ureteral stone causing hydronephrosis.

Findings:

  • The ureteral stone measured 11cm in length and weighed 45gm.
  • Ureterolithotomy was successfully performed to remove the stone.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of prompt diagnosis and surgical management of large ureteral calculi.
  • Ureterolithotomy is an effective treatment for giant ureteral stones, preventing further renal damage.
