Unusual intravesical foreign body management: the Casablanca experience

Abstract

Self-insertion of foreign bodies in the urethra is most commonly associated with sexual or erotic arousal of adolescents with mental health disorders. It may rarely be practiced by healthy adults for masturbation. A diagnosis is usually made radiologically. Iatrogenic foreign bodies were found to be the most frequent type of insertion encountered. Endoscopic retrieval is usually successful, with minimal morbidity. The aim of this paper was to expose our experience about intravesical foreign bodies. The management of 4 cases with intravesical foreign body is exposed and analyzed.
