Abstract

Cholelithiasis is a common condition in gastroenterology that affects 10% to 15% of adults. It is commonly known as gallstones and results from the precipitation of substances in the bile. Meanwhile, prostatic hyperplasia is an enlargement of the prostate gland that can cause various urinary tract symptoms, including bladder outlet obstruction and dysuria, which significantly affect the patient's quality of life. This case reports a 54-year-old man who was admitted to the hospital with complaints of shortness of breath and swollen legs 1 day before admission. After 2 days of hospitalization, the patient felt pain in the right abdomen. So an abdominal ultrasound examination was performed and found thickening of the wall and a picture of stones in the gallbladder and an enlarged prostate. Actions taken include a cholecystectomy surgery for gallstones in the gallbladder and observation for the development of symptoms of prostate enlargement. The patient's prognosis was good, indicating a good outcome or positive recovery.
