  • Etiologies range from accidental insertion to intentional self-insertion, often associated with psychiatric disorders, sexual perversions, or curiosity.

Observation:

  • Demonstrates the feasibility of surgical management for complex bladder foreign bodies.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of considering psychiatric evaluation in patients with unusual foreign body insertions.
  • Underscores the role of surgical intervention in managing such challenging urological cases.
  • Contributes to the literature on rare causes of bladder pathology and their management.
