Foreign bodies in the bladder, like surgical sponges, can cause lower urinary tract symptoms. This case highlights the transvesical endoscopic removal of a sponge migrated six years post-inguinal hernioplasty.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Complications

Background:

  • Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) can indicate intravesical foreign bodies.
  • Diagnosis of these foreign bodies is often incidental during investigations for other conditions.

Observation:

  • A surgical sponge migrated into the urinary bladder six years after an inguinal hernioplasty.
  • The patient presented with lower urinary tract symptoms.

Findings:

  • Transvesical endoscopic extraction was successfully performed to remove the migrated surgical sponge.
  • This minimally invasive approach facilitated the removal of the intravesical foreign body.

Implications:

  • Highlights a rare but significant delayed complication of inguinal hernioplasty.
