Lithiasis of the prostatic loge

Lithiasis may develop in the prostate loge following prostate surgery. Calculus formation in the prostate can be ascribed basically to foreign bodies, residual adenomatous spheroids and clots or fragments of sphacelous mucosa in the presence of a stenotic area after surgery and/or infection. The diagnosis is based on the physical examination and particularly on the radiological findings. Treatment is by open surgery or endoscopic or extracorporeal lithotripsy.
