- A 48-year-old man was hospitalized with the chief complaints of lower abdominal pain, pain during micturation and pollakuria. Plain radiography showed 2 giant bladder stone shadows: one as 6.0 × 5.0 cm and the other one 5.0 × 5.0 cm in size. Cystolithotomy was performed. The first stone weighed 400 g and measured 6.0 × 5.0 × 6.0 cm in size, and the other stone was fragmented to smaller particles with pneumatic lithotriptor. Although a bladder stone is not rare, this case is interesting for 2 huge bladder calculi that were completely obstructing the bladder outlet and observed several years following pelvic trauma. To the best of our knowledge, our patient represents one of the largest bladder stone cases reported to date.

- Introduction: Robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALRP) may be more challenging in obese individuals. This study aimed to evaluate whether obesity had an adverse effect on perioperative outcomes following RALRP.Methods: Hospitalized patients who underwent RAL-RP from 2008-2014 were identified using the National Inpatient Sample database. We grouped RALRP patients into non-obese, obesity class I-II, and obesity class III (morbid obesity). Rates of blood transfusion, intraoperative and postoperative complications, in-hospital mortality, prolonged length of stay, and total costs were compared among the three groups by univariate regression, multivariate regression, and propensity score weighting analysis.Results: Of 53 301 patients identified, 48 725 were non-obese, 3572 were diagnosed with obesity class I-II, and 1004 were diagnosed with morbid obesity. Compared to non-obesity (7.62%), overall postoperative complications were commonly observed in obesity class I-II (10.55%) and morbid obesity (17.11%). Multivariable analyses suggested that morbid obesity was associated with increased overall postoperative (odds ratio PRI 2.00, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.65-2.42), cardiac (OR 1.63, 95% CI 1.03-2.58), respiratory (OR 4.03, 95% CI 3.04-5.36), genitourinary (OR 1.77, 95% CI 1.08-2.90), miscellaneous medical (OR 1.94, 95% CI 1.58-2.39) complications, prolonged hospitalization (OR 1.86, 95% CI 1.57-2.21), arid 12% higher total cost. Propensity score weighting analysis yielded similar results. Adequate covariate balance was achieved for all variables after weighting.Conclusions: Morbid obesity is adversely associated with perioperative outcomes in RALRP Close management is required in patients undergoing RALRP with morbid obesity for potential worse prognosis.
