A colossal kidney stone, comparable in size to a grapefruit, length to a banana, and weight to four hamsters, has been successfully removed from a patient in Sri Lanka, setting two new world records.

Measuring an astonishing 13.372 centimeters (5.26 inches) in length and weighing 801 grams (1.76 lbs), the kidney stone surpassed the previous records of 13 centimeters for length (set in India in 2004) and 620 grams for weight (set in Pakistan in 2008).

The groundbreaking procedure took place at the Colombo Army Hospital on June 1, performed by Sri Lankan Army doctors.

Kidney stones form when solid materials crystallize in the kidney, ureters, or bladder, often due to a combination of genetic and environmental factors.

The Mayo Clinic suggests that consuming 2 to 3 quarts (1.89 to 2.8 liters) of water daily can help flush out smaller stones (less than 3 millimeters in diameter) through the urinary system.
