Sumario:Giant prostatic and bladder calculi is extremely rare entity with incidence increasing with age. These large stones can be concurrently managed via transurethrally, open retro-pubic surgery, radical prostatectomy and endoscopically depending on site and size. A 55-male presented with severe lower urinary tract symptoms mainly incontinence of urine for 8–10 years. On workup, he was diagnosed to have giant prostatic and bladder calculi. We report this rare case as such giant stones are managed with open surgery but we succeeded in removing them endoscopically with favorable outcome.
