Urinary bladder calculi are rarely seen in women and any history of previous pelvic surgery must, therefore, raise suspicion of an iatrogenic etiology. According to the literature, fewer than 2% of all bladder calculi occur in female subjects and, thus, their presence should provoke careful assessment of the etiology. There have been a number of reports on bladder calculi in women with a history of gynecologic procedures. We report a case of bladder calculus after cesarean section that was treated successfully by open surgery.
