- Abstract
Introduction and Objectives. Incidence of bladder stones is rising among women secondary to the increased number of genitourinary procedures. Materials and Methods. We report the case of a 34 years old female with history of emergency hysterectomy and cystorraphy for placenta percreta; at admission the patient had haematuria. dysuria, frequency, urgency and urinary incontinence. Spontaneously eliminated calculi containing suture material was reported. Cystoscopy revealed the large stone that was immobile, attached to the posterior bladder wall. Results. Transurethral cystolitholapaxy with ultrasonic lithotripsy was performed, and a black suture material passing through the calculus and the bladder wall was observed, incised and removed. Conclusions. With the urogenital procedures in female patients rising, it is important to bear in mind some simple principles: use of absorbable suture material, good surgical technique and cystoscopic evaluation before discharging the patient.
