Key Clinical MessageA self‐insertion of the styrofoam in urinary bladder is relatively rare. The diagnosis might be missed due to concealing the history of self‐insertion of the foreign body and the presence of gas in the bladder on CT and MRI. Younger patients with lower urinary tract symptoms should raise the index of suspicion.AbstractTransurethral self‐insertion of a foreign body into the bladder is the most common type of bladder foreign body, which is unlikely to be misdiagnosed. we report a case of self‐insertion bladder foreign body and present the symptoms, imaging, diagnosis and treatment in a 14‐year‐old Chinese boy of Han nationality. Younger patients with lower urinary tract symptoms should raise the index of suspicion. Endoscopic removal of foreign bodies can be a challenge. Patients with self‐insertion of foreign objects should undergo psychiatric evaluation to avoid repeated transurethral insertion of foreign bodies.

Background/Objectives: An electric wire inserted into the bladder or urethra presents a specific challenge that is frequently encountered in such cases: the potential formation of a tight knot, making extraction nearly impossible. The primary objective of this study was to share our personal experience with patients who had intravesical electric cable insertions and to provide an extensive literature review, offering detailed insights into the various strategies reported for managing such foreign body cases. Methods: Of the four cases with a foreign body in the lower urinary tract, two involved patients aged 19 and 53, respectively, who had inserted an electric cable. During their attempt at self-removal, they developed an intravesical knot, as confirmed by radiographic imaging. Results: In the first case, a bipolar approach was used: a cystoscope was inserted transurethrally into the bladder alongside the cable, while a laparoscopic trocar was introduced suprapubically. Using laparoscopic scissors, the cable was successfully cut and removed. In the second case, due to the cable’s size, a direct cystotomy was performed. At the 3-month follow-up, the uroflowmetry results were normal for both patients. A psychiatric evaluation revealed no abnormalities in the first patient, while the second patient was diagnosed with polyembolokoilamania. Conclusions: The removal of self-inserted electric cables from the urethra and bladder is a challenging procedure, often requiring the urologist’s creativity to prevent potential complications. Many cases can be resolved endoscopically; however, even this minimally invasive approach must be tailored to each case to provide the most suitable solution for the patient.
