- Abstract
Introduction. Herein we present an interesting technique for the removal of bladder foreign body (BFB) in which a combination of endoscopic and suprapubic cystostomy was used. Case Presentation. The patient was a case of illicit drug abuserwho self-introduced an electrical wire into his bladder. After its failed cystoscopic removal, the foreign body was removed suprapubically without open bladder surgery. Discussions. Bladder foreign bodies are not uncommon. Based on the literature review, mainly open surgeries were used for their treatment. Using of our less invasive technique is a good way for escaping from open cystostomy. Conclusion. Endoscopic removal of the bladder foreign bodies is possible without any need for open bladder surgery.
