Abstract

Vesical calculi formation on absorbable sutures is rare. The case of a 68-year-old white man, who had formed a large bladder stone on absorbable suture 3 years after radical prostatectomy, is reported. Endoscopic lithotripsy of the bladder calculi was performed and the suture was removed.
