Doctors successfully removed a 6.8-pound stone when the procedure was carried out last week at a hospital in Trincomalee in the east of the country.

The prior record was set in Brazil in 2003, with a stone that weighed 4.2 pounds and had a length of 7 inches, according to the Guinness World Records.

The bladder stone removed in Sri Lanka is 6.6 inches long.
