Surgical Laparoscopy, Endoscopy & Percutaneous Techniques
|February 22, 2008
Abstract:
A technique is described to extract intravesical foreign bodies that cannot be safely extracted urethrally. A laparoscopic port is introduced via a small suprapubic incision into a saline distended bladder. The entry into the bladder is guided by visualization through the cystoscope. The foreign body is grasped using a laparoscopic grasper and delivered via the suprapubic incision en masse with the port.
