[Urinary bladder calculus--of unusual origin].

E H Jørgensen

    Ugeskrift for Laeger
    |September 11, 1989
    PubMed
    Summary

    A foreign body, identified as a syringe cap, was removed during transurethral lithotripsy. This indicates accidental insertion during prior catheterization, highlighting a potential iatrogenic complication.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Medical Device Complications
    • Surgical Procedures

    Background:

    • Transurethral lithotripsy is a common procedure for managing bladder stones.
    • Catheterization is frequently employed before or during urological procedures.

    Observation:

    • During a transurethral lithotripsy procedure for multiple stones, a foreign body was discovered.
    • This foreign body served as the nucleus for the largest calculus removed.

    Findings:

    • The foreign body was identified as the "cap" from a syringe used to inflate a catheter balloon.
    • This suggests the cap was inadvertently introduced into the urinary tract during catheterization.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the risk of retained foreign bodies from medical devices during urological procedures.
    • Underscores the importance of meticulous technique and device integrity during catheterization.
    • Suggests a need for increased vigilance regarding potential iatrogenic complications in urology.
