Foreign body in the urinary bladder
1993
: Foreign bodies in the urinary bladder are not uncommon, however, only a few cases have been reported in recent literature. This is not a fatal disease, however, it may lead to serious complications such as chronic cystitis, urolithiasis, or rectal abscess formation. These foreign bodies were inserted for autoerotic or unknown reasons by patients. In this paper we report 4 cases of foreign bodies in the urinary bladder. They include a cucumber, glass tube, chewing gum, and filliform catheter. We found that most of the foreign bodies in the urinary bladder can be removed endoscopically, but if the patients also had a lower urinary tract obstructive disease, removal necessitated surgical procedures. All of the four cases had no urological complications for at least one year after treatment.
