Giant bladder stones, defined as stones weighing over 100 g and/or measuring more than 4 cm in diameter, are relatively uncommon compared to other types of urinary tract stones. This patient, an 85-year-old male with an unknown medical history, initially presented with urinary incontinence and hematuria. Radiological findings revealed a large prostate, a forgotten left renal double-J (DJ) stent for more than 20 years with an encrusted bladder stone, and additional calculi in the lower pole of the left kidney.

Introduction: A ureteral stent is crucial for managing urinary flow obstruction, ureteral reconstructive surgeries, and iatrogenic ureteral injuries. The authors aim to report a case of forgotten double-J stent for 17 years, the longest time reported in literature in a patient with solitary kidney and no typical long-term complications as stones formation and encrustation.
Case Presentation: A 58-year-old male with chronic kidney disease and solitary left kidney presented with left loin pain.

Background: Prostatic urethral lift (PUL) therapy is an alternative to minimally invasive and other surgeries in younger patients who want to preserve their sexual and ejaculatory functions, and in elderly male patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia who cannot be anesthetized because of the risk of anesthesia. The procedure can be performed as an outpatient and without anesthesia, and complications are few and temporary. In long-term follow-up, encrustations that require retreatment are rarely seen.
