Removal of Retained Foley Catheter in Bladder with Novel Use of Ureteral Catheter: Lasso Technique

Removal of Numerous Vesical Magnetic Beads with a Self-Made Magnetic Sheath

“…Treatment for foreign body in the bladder should be planned according to size, number, and nature of the foreign body. Endoscopic therapy is always the first choice, with usage of some unusual equipment such as nephroscope, Amplatz dilators, retrieval baskets as well as ureteral catheter [3–5,9]. However, in some cases, there might be significant difficulties in the removal of a foreign body endoscopically, so meatotomy, internal or external urethrotomy, or suprapubic cystostomy may have to be performed [2,10].…”

“…Imagination and surgical skill are essential for a urologist to retrieve a vesical foreign body, which depend on the nature of the foreign body. To the limit of our knowledge, nephroscopes, Yttrium aluminium garnet laser, and even ureteral catheter have been creatively used by urologists to remove different kinds of vesical foreign bodies [2,5,6]. Herein, we described an unusual case of large numbers of vesical magnetic beads self‐inserted by a university student for sexual excitement, and we created a novel method to remove these magnetic beads efficiently and conveniently.…”

Cystoscopic Extraction of a Whole Pen From the Bladder: A Case Report and Review of Bladder Foreign Bodies’ Treatment Options

“…Hutton and Huddart (1999) used percutaneous puncture for retrieval of an intravesical FB using direct transurethral visualization [20]. Moreover, a self-inflicted wire extending from the external meatus to the bladder was removed using combined rigid cystoscopy and suprapubic forceps [21]. Bukowski and Williams (1997) used a combined laparoscopic/endoscopic procedure to extract a migrated intraurethral stent from after distal hypospadias repair [22].…”
