[A case of vesico-urethral foreign body with urinary fistula]

We report a rare case of vesico-urethral foreign body with urinary fistula. On March 12, 2002, a 53-year-old single men inserted a 3 m vinyl tube 6 mm in diameter into his urethra by himself for the purpose of masturbation, but he could not remove the tube. He cut his urethra by himself and tried to remove the tube. The next day he was admitted to our hospital, with complaints of urinary fistula and fever. Open surgical removal of foreign body, cystostomy and repair of bulbous portion of the urethra were performed. At 24 days postoperatively the cystostomy and urethral catheter were removed and urination became smooth.
