- Abstract
Although urinary bladder is an uncommon site for intrusion of foreign bodies, a wide variety of objects have been reported in the literature. Many of these foreign bodies migrated into the bladder from adjacent sites. This is a rare case in which surgical sponge, accidentally retained after abdominal hysterectomy, eroded into the bladder and came out spontaneously through the urethra without forming vesical calculi.
