Abstract
Urolithiasis is characterised by the development of stones in the renal pelvis, ureter, bladder, or urethra. Giant ureteral calculi are ones with a circumference or length of more than 5 cm. If not treated in a timely manner, these massive calculi might result in ureter obstruction, renal dilatation, and impaired kidney function. The male patient in this report presented with complaints of unilateral episodic pain of the right lumbar region. During a Tran’s abdominal ultrasound of the entire abdomen and pelvis, a big right ureteral stone measuring 11.3 * 6.6 mm in length was discovered. After that, acupuncture was used to treat the ureteric calculus successfully.
