class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The discovery was made after the 64-year-old patient went to hospital suffering pain in his left side and trouble urinating.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">While these mineral stones are often small enough to be passed naturally, this case required urgent intervention.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">A CT scan showed the bladder stone \u2013 a condition which most commonly affects men aged 50 or older \u2013 measured 4.7 inches by 3.7 inches by 3 inches\u00a0(12 by 9.5 by 7.5cms).<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">After surgery to remove it, doctors confirmed it weighed a whopping 1.7lbs (770g).<\/p>\n<p>        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-c6389dce14c5c601\"

According to Guinness World Records, the biggest\u00a0was removed from Jos\u00e9 de Castro da Silva, who was 62, in S\u00e3o Paulo City, Brazil in 2003.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">This measured 7 inches by 5 inches by 3.7 inches (17.9 by 12.7 by 9.5cm), and weighed 4.2lbs (1.9kg).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\"><span class=\"mol-style-bold health-ccox mol-style-medium\">Increased risk<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Scans of the unidentified man&#8217;s abdomen also revealed another, much smaller stone in his left ureter,  the tube that carries urine from the kidneys to the bladder.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">According to the report, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, doctors who treated the man explained that he&#8217;d had invasive bladder cancer more than a decade before.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Surgeons had then removed his bladder, but constructed what is called a &#8216;neobladder&#8217; out of parts of the man&#8217;s intestines.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Like a regular bladder, the neobladder is connected to both the ureters and the urethra, creating a new way for urine to exit the body.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Having this procedure can increase a person&#8217;s risk of developing stones, the authors said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">As well as surgery to remove the stone, the man was given laser treatment to break up the other stone in his left ureter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The journal states that had no further problems after his surgery, and he is now being monitored by doctors.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\n<p>            <!-- ad: http:\/\/mads.dailymail.co.uk\/v2\/us\/health\/none\/article\/other\/inread_player.html --><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"social-links-title\">Share or comment on this article<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"bigLinks sc-icns cleared\">\n<li class=\"share-facebook\">\n<p>                                    <span class=\"wai\">e-mail<\/span><br \/>\n                                <\/a>\n                            <\/li>\n<li class=\"share-icons\" id=\"shareLinkBottom\">\n<p>                                <\/a>\n                            <\/li>\n<li class=\"social-stats social-stats-pipe\" id=\"shareCountBottom\">\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"addCommentButton\" class=\"add-comment\">\n<p>                                <\/a>\n                            <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"rotator-panels\">\n<li class=\"new shallow-ac mini link-bogr6 linkro-wocc\">  <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/i\/pix\/2017\/09\/09\/14\/4412DA5100000578-0-image-m-16_1504963027752.jpg\" alt=\"An unidentified man is suing Mount Sinai St Luke's Hospital in New York City for $2.5million about the hospital mistakenly sent his HIV diagnosis to his workplace\" width=\"154\" height=\"115\" \/><span class=\"wocc bdrcc\">New York City hospital that mistakenly sent a man&#8217;s HIV&#8230;<\/span> <\/a> <\/li>\n<li class=\"new shallow-ac mini link-bogr6 linkro-wocc\">  <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/i\/pix\/2017\/09\/09\/09\/441142BA00000578-0-image-a-22_1504947053593.jpg\" alt=\"The hilarious video shows a very sleepy James struggling to keep his eyes open\" width=\"154\" height=\"115\" \/><span class=\"wocc bdrcc\">Eyes on the fries: Cute toddler lurches backwards and&#8230;<\/span> <\/a> <\/li>\n<li class=\"new shallow-ac mini link-bogr6 linkro-wocc\">  <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/i\/pix\/2017\/09\/09\/01\/440C83FC00000578-0-image-a-23_1504918291390.jpg\" alt=\"Anti-Apartheid campaigner Desmond Tutu (right) has condemned Burma\u00bfs Aung San Suu Kyi (left) for her silence on the ethnic cleansing of Muslims in her country\" width=\"154\" height=\"115\" \/><span class=\"wocc bdrcc\">Desmond Tutu urges Aung San Suu Kyi to speak out on&#8230;<\/span> <\/a> <\/li>\n<li class=\"new shallow-ac mini link-bogr6 linkro-wocc\">  <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/i\/pix\/2017\/09\/09\/11\/441182DE00000578-0-image-a-10_1504953999977.jpg\" alt=\"An extremely rare and particularly cheeky baby white monkey has been spotted taking a very hefty bite of its sibling's head in Japan.
