Colombo – Sri Lankan military doctors have removed a kidney stone from a 62-year-old retired soldier, which is now recorded as the worlds largest kidney stone, the army said on Wednesday.
Europe Today reports that the army said the stone removed from former Sergeant Canistus Conze weighed 801 grams (28.25 oz), more than five times the weight of an average male kidney.
Coonges kidney stone measured 13.37 centimeters (5.26 in) in length, compared to the average kidney, which is about 10 to 12 centimeters long.
The worlds largest and heaviest kidney stone was removed in a major surgery at the Colombo Army Hospital on June 1, the army said in a statement.
Konge told the local Swarnavahini TV that he has been suffering from stomach pain since 2020 and oral medicines have not helped.
After a recent scan, I was asked to undergo surgery, he said. I feel normal now.
According to Guinness World Records, the Sri Lankan case surpassed the previous largest kidney deposit of 620 grams from a patient in Pakistan in 2008.
Europe Today reports that officials announced the discovery on Wednesday after it was recognized by Guinness World Records.
Army surgeon K. The most important thing for us is that the kidney is functioning normally despite this stone, Suthershan said.
Stones form when minerals and salts crystallize in the kidney as it filters the blood.
Passing stones can cause excruciating pain, requiring surgery if they are very large and become stuck.
