Abstract

Foreign bodies are an occasional entity in the urinary bladder. They may present in a different number of ways. In most cases, the cause is accidental and the foreign body can be removed via the transurethral approach. A 18-year-old female patient came to our hospital’s outpatient department with complaints of lower urinary tract irritative symptoms and on investigating, was diagnosed to have a foreign body in her urinary bladder. We herein report a case of foreign body, about 8 cm long wooden pencil, in urinary bladder which was successfully removed using a cystoscope. Prompt surgical management of the condition prevented long term complications.

 

Keywords: Foreign Body; Urinary Bladder; Cystoscope.
