Summary

Intravesical foreign bodies require tailored extraction to minimize trauma. Consider foreign bodies in patients with chronic lower urinary tract symptoms, confirmed by panendoscopy.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Medical Device Management

Background:

  • Foreign bodies can enter the bladder via self-insertion, iatrogenic causes, or migration from adjacent organs.
  • Management requires careful consideration of the foreign body's nature to prevent complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the management and complications of intravesical foreign bodies.
  • To highlight the importance of considering foreign bodies in patients with unexplained lower urinary tract symptoms.

Main Methods:

  • A 5-year retrospective review of patients with intravesical foreign bodies.
  • Analysis of presentation, management strategies, and outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Fifteen patients were identified, with 11 presenting acutely and 4 with chronic symptoms.
  • Extraction methods were tailored to the specific foreign body, aiming to minimize trauma.

Conclusions:

  • Extraction of bladder foreign bodies should be individualized to minimize bladder and urethral trauma.
  • Panendoscopy is crucial for confirming complete removal.
  • Intravesical foreign bodies should be considered in the differential diagnosis of chronic lower urinary tract symptoms.
