| Summary: | <p dir="ltr">Since early reports in the literature, cases with urethral foreign bodies have been extremely variable and interestingly challenging. Various presentations have been reported, including self-insertion for sexual pleasure, assaults, trauma, and foreign bodies migration. Management by endoscopic surgery is usually a preferred option for small foreign bodies. Open surgery is reserved for large objects with difficult access. We present a case of self-insertion of a large urethral foreign body with a caliber of 45F in a young gentleman. Endoscopic extraction of the foreign body was safely successful using combined percutaneous and transurethral cystoscopy.</p><h2>Other Information</h2><p dir="ltr">Published in: Urology Case Reports<br>License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" target="_blank">http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a><br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.eucr.2021.101625" target="_blank">https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.eucr.2021.101625</a></p> |
