## Caption

Doctors have removed a giant bladder stone that weighs as much as a newborn child from a man in Sri Lanka. 
 
The procedure was carried out last week at a hospital in Trincomalee, in the east of the country.
 
Bladder stones are formed when minerals in the urine crystallise, turning into solid lumps.
